Radiomic Texture and Shape Descriptors of the Rectal Environment on Post-Chemoradiation T2-Weighted MRI are Associated with Pathologic Tumor Stage Regression in Rectal Cancers: A Retrospective, Multi-Institution Study

Radiomic Texture and Shape Descriptors of the Rectal Environment on Post-Chemoradiation T2-Weighted MRI are Associated with Pathologic Tumor Stage Regression in Rectal Cancers: A Retrospective, Multi-Institution Study

(1) <i>Background</i>: The relatively poor expert restaging accuracy of MRI in rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiation may be due to the difficulties in visual assessment of residual tumor on post-treatment MRI. In order to capture underlying tissue alterations and morphologic cha...
