Synopsis

To predict the treatment response for NPC patients is very important. This study aimed to explore the diagnostic performance of 3D APT imaging on predicting the treatment response of NPC patients. A total of 40 patients and 14 healthy volunteers were identified in this study. Result show that the APT and MT values have good and excellent intra- and inter-observer agreement. It is significant difference for MT values between residual and non-residual group. The result suggests that the pre-treatment MT values can be used to predict treatment response of NPC with chemoradiotherapy, and better than the APT and ADC value.
