Predicting Treatment Response of Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer Using Amide Proton Transfer MRI Combined With Diffusion-Weighted Imaging

Predicting Treatment Response of Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer Using Amide Proton Transfer MRI Combined With Diffusion-Weighted Imaging

ObjectiveTo evaluate amide proton weighted (APTw) MRI combined with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in predicting neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) response in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).Methods53 patients with LARC were enrolled in this retrospective study. MR examinati...
