Long-time intervals of reassessment. a Sagittal T2WI shows the baseline staging of a low rectal tumor with the distal margin lying below the intersphincteric plane (arrow). b Axial T2WI shows the semiannular lesion (arrow). c Restaging after 10 weeks showed a good response with predominant low-signal intensity within the lesion (arrow). d Proctoscopy showing good but incomplete response with residual ulceration. e Reassessment after longer intervals showed evidence of ongoing response to CRT. Follow-up exams after 22 weeks revealed findings consistent with complete clinical response
