Diffusion weighted imaging improves diagnostic ability of MRI for determining complete response to neoadjuvant therapy in locally advanced rectal cancer

Diffusion weighted imaging improves diagnostic ability of MRI for determining complete response to neoadjuvant therapy in locally advanced rectal cancer

Purpose: To assess the diagnostic performance, interobserver agreement and confidence level for determining response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) using morphology based MR-tumour regression grade (MR TRG), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) patterns and their combination in patients with l...
