Quantitative imaging features (radiomics) extracted from apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)
maps of rectal cancer patients can provide additional information to support treatment …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of quantitative apparent diffusion
coefficient (ADC) measurements, in the assessment of the therapeutic response to chemo …

Quantitative radiomics features, extracted from medical images, characterize tumour-
phenotypes and have been shown to provide prognostic value in predicting clinical …

BACKGROUND: Diffusion-weighted imaging is increasingly used in rectal cancer MRI to
assess response after chemoradiotherapy. Certain pitfalls (eg, artefacts) may hamper …

Background The value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for reliable differentiation
between pathologic complete response (pCR) and residual tumor is still unclear. Recently, a …

BACKGROUND It is evident that an accurate evaluation of T and N stage rectal cancer is
essential for treatment planning. It has not been extensively investigated whether texture …

AIM To investigate the role of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), T2-weighted (W) imaging,
and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histogram analysis before, during, and after …

Purpose To investigate the usefulness of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values derived
from histogram analysis of the whole rectal cancer as a quantitative parameter to evaluate …

Purpose Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) tumor volumetry is promising for rectal cancer
response assessment, but an important drawback is that manual per-slice tumor delineation …

The objectives of the study are to develop a new way to assess stability and discrimination
capacity of radiomic features without the need of test-retest or multiple delineations and to …
