Inclusion Criteria
1. Patients with pathologically proven esophageal cancer referred to the department of Radiotherapy for
radiotherapy;
Exclusion Criteria
1. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) of <45 mL/min/1.73m2, unless the patient has risk factors for contrast nefropathy according to the UMCU protocol ‘Preventie contrastreactie en contrast nefropathie, Versie 2 februari

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Quality of the MRI images as defined by robustness (i.e. that the protocol can successfully be applied in various patients) and geometrical accuracy. Those parameters are derived using image analysis. MR images are obtained before, during and/or after chemoradiotherapy.
