Key reported effects included increased use of DWI for restaging, increased use of the STO to discern rectal from sigmoid cancer, enhanced confidence in using diagnostic tools and grading systems, greater adoption of structured reporting templates, and more frequent integration of organ-preserving treatment considerations into radiological assessments. Respondents also emphasized the importance of receiving feedback to maximize the educational benefits of participating in such studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Web-based validation studies can positively influence radiologists\u2019 reporting practices, fostering the adoption of novel diagnostic tools through education and collaborative knowledge sharing.
