The purpose of this study was to evaluate
the value of amide proton transfer weighted (APTw) imaging in the
identification of lymph node metastasis in rectal cancer. Results showed that,
for patients with rectal cancer, the APTw value in group with lymph node
metastasis was significantly lower than those in group without lymph node
metastasis. APTw imaging can be used as a promising non-invasive method to
predict the lymph node metastasis in rectal cancer.(AUC:0.770;sensitivity :70% specificity :80% )
