Background: The aim of our study was to investigate the correlation among T2-weighted (T2w) images, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) images, histogram analysis and the pathological response in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) after preoperative chemoradiotherapy...

Purpose: To determine whether MRI T2-weighted sequences-based texture analysis (TA) can predict histopathological tumor regression grade (TRG) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) undergoing neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy (nCRT). Methods: Data on patients undergoing curative-intent surgery for LARC were collected. Patients...

Objective: To compare the accuracy of contrast-enhanced MRI using established dimensional and morphological criteria versus integrated [18F]FDG PET/MRI in identifying regional lymph node metastases in patients with newly diagnosed head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). For this purpose, we compare MRI and PET/MRI using the...
