Core Tip	With the technical development of multiplanar imaging and 3D reformation, the diagnostic performance of Multidetector row computed tomography for T-staging has improved. N-staging of advanced gastric cancer has also improved, but the diagnostic effectiveness of N-staging is limited for patients with early gastric cancer. The limitations of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) once prevented its use in evaluating gastric cancer; however, the development of high-speed sequences has made MRI a feasible tool. The intrinsic strength of MRI is the ability to produce contrast in soft tissue, and the use of tissue-specific contrast agents may aid in gastric cancer staging.
