We assess the prognostic factors for rectal cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiation utilizing whole-tumor histogram analysis of diffusion kurtosis imaging. Our study demonstrated that whole-tumor histogram analysis of diffusion kurtosis imaginghas potential to be a predictor for DFS and provide evidence for individualized follow-up and treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer patients.
