Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging—A Superior Approach to Assess Tumor–Stroma Ratio in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging—A Superior Approach to Assess Tumor–Stroma Ratio in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Extensive desmoplastic stroma is a hallmark of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and contributes to tumor progression and to the relative resistance of tumor cells towards (radio) chemotherapy. Thus, therapies that target the stroma are under intense investigation. To allow the stratification...
