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 …

In recent years, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) has become the standard of care for
patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. Until recently, patients routinely proceeded to …

Background To perform a metaanalysis to determine and compare the diagnostic
performance of MRI, endorectal ultrasonography (ERUS), and computed tomography (CT) in …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to assess the predictive value of 18F-FDG
PET/CT for pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced …

Imaging biomarkers for the predictive assessment of treatment response in patients with
cancer earlier than standard tumor volumetric metrics would provide new opportunities to …

BACKGROUND: Conventional MRI is limited in the assessment of nodal status and T status
after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Multiparametric MRI strives to overcome these issues …

Guidelines recommend MRI as part of the staging work-up of patients with rectal cancer
because it can identify high-risk groups requiring preoperative treatment. Phenomenal …
