MMURC: Magnetomotoric Ultrasound for Diagnostic Purposes in Rectal Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
A magnetomotive ultrasound combines standard diagnostic ultrasound equipment with the application of an external time-varying magnetic field. The investigators aim to use this equipment to improve preoperative diagnostics in rectal cancer.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |

|
Detailed Description
The investigators will compare magnetomotive ultrasound with MRI and pathology report on specimens extracted during surgery.

Patients with rectal cancer Patients with rectal cancer will be included and asked to participate in the study where a MMUS will be used after resection to test diagnostic accuracy. |
Diagnostic Test: MMUS
MMUS will be used to perform diagnostics, we will compare with MRI and histology
