MRI is the mainstay for locoregional imaging assessment in rectal cancer. In light of the introduction of neoadjuvant therapies, such as total neoadjuvant treatment (TNT) and organ-preserving treatment for complete responders after TNT, accurate restaging is pivotal. This paper reviews the main MRI features for near-complete and complete responses after TNT and elaborates on the recently published rectal cancer MR imaging ESGAR guidelines.
