This review summarizes current applications and clinical utility of diffusion-weighted imaging
(DWI) for rectal cancer and in addition provides a brief overview of more recent …

Purpose Advanced medical image analytics is increasingly used to predict clinical outcome
in patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal tumors. This review provides an overview on the …

Radiomics analyses commonly apply imaging features of different complexity for the
prediction of the endpoint of interest. However, the prognostic value of each feature class is …

Purpose To determine response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy in
patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) by using magnetic resonance (MR) …

Background The purpose of this study was to investigate and validate multiparametric
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based machine learning classifiers for early …

Complete tumor response can be achieved in a certain proportion of patients with locally
advanced rectal cancer, who achieve maximal response to neoadjuvant therapy (NAT). For …

Functional imaging modalities like Diffusion-weighted imaging are increasingly used to
predict tumor behavior like cellularity and vascularity in different tumors. Histogram analysis …

Simple Summary Metachronous metastases are the main factors affecting survival in rectal
cancer, and 15–25% of patients will develop them at a 5-year follow-up. Early identification …

Introduction: The standard of care for locoregionally advanced rectal cancer is neoadjuvant
therapy (NA CRT) prior to surgery, of which 10–30% experience a complete pathologic …

Background The purpose of the study was to evaluate whether histogram analysis of
apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) can predict pathological complete response (pCR) and …
