LOINC description : Endorectal coil magnetic resonance imaging or endorectal coil MRI is a type of medical
imaging in which MRI is used in conjunction with a coil placed into the rectum in
order to obtain high quality images of the area surrounding the rectum. The technique
has demonstrated higher accuracy than other modalities in assessing seminal vesicle
invasion and extra-capsular extension (ECE) of prostate cancer (96% and 81% respectively).
Endorectal coil MRI is useful for determining the extent of spread and local invasion
of cancers of the prostate, rectum, and anus. The coil consists of a probe with an
inflatable balloon which helps maintain appropriate positioning. [extracted from Wikipedia
