From: A preliminary study of synthetic magnetic resonance imaging in rectal cancer: imaging quality and preoperative assessment

	Conventional T2WI	Synthetic T2WI	P value
mrT stage
Observer 1	90.4% (85/94)	85.1% (80/94)	0.375
Observer 2	91.5% (86/94)	87.2% (82/94)	0.625
mrEMVI
Observer 1	81.9% (77/94)	79.8% (75/94)	0.625
Observer 2	85.1% (80/94)	78.7% (74/94)	0.219

Numbers used to calculate percentages are in parentheses. mrT stage, T stage on T2-weighted imaging; mrEMVI, extramural venous invasion on T2-weighted imaging
