We
aim to assess the correlations between parameters apparent diffusion
coefficient (ADC) measured by DWI and standardized uptake value (SUV)
measured by 18F-FDG PET in rectal caner. Significant negative correlations
were found between ADC and SUV in primary rectal adenocarcinomas. ADC may
thus have the potential as a useful biomarker in oncologic imaging.
