Response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectum cancer: Texture analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI.
Tumor heterogeneity can be assessed by texture analysis (TA). TA has been applied using diffusion-weighted imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient maps to predict pathological responses to preoperative chemoradiation therapy (CRT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). ⋯ 4 Technical Efficacy: Stage 3 J.
