In this study, we investigated the utility of IVIM-DWI in discriminating the pathological response to nCRT in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). We found that both the pre-nCRT and post-nCRT IVIM-DWI parametric values for LARC, together with their percentage changes, might benefit the evaluation of pathological response to nCRT, which suggest IVIM-DWI is potentially useful in discriminating pathological response for LARC patients.
