Consecutive MRI rectal staging scans with correlative pathology confirmed primary rectal cancer between March 2014 and March 2021 were identified. The respective imaging reports were reviewed for IFs, which were classified as high, moderate, and low, according to their clinical significance. Medical records were reviewed to assess the outcomes of the highly significant IFs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There were 266 eligible patients (97 women; mean age = 64.2 years) during the study period. A total of 120 (45%) patients did not have any IFs. A total of 238 IFs in 146 (55%) patients were found. There were 21 (9%) IFs of high clinical significance, 122 (51%) of moderate clinical significance, and 95 (40%) of low clinical significance. The prostate and uterus had the most IFs of high clinical significance, two of which were subsequently pathology confirmed as prostate adenocarcinomas.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>IFs were seen in more than half of the staging MRI scans in rectal cancer but less than 10% of these were of high clinical significance.
