• 3.0-T MRI was significantly more accurate than CT in assessing invasion of the thoracic aorta in patients with esophageal cancer. • 3.0-T MRI was also significantly more accurate than CT in assessing tracheobronchial invasion in patients with esophageal cancer. • 3.0-T MRI has a higher diagnostic performance than CT in evaluating patients with suspected aortic or tracheobronchial invasion in esophageal cancer.
