Synopsis

Keywords: Tumors, Head & Neck/ENT

TSE-DWI-IVIM as a new and feasible method for predicting the early response to Induction Chemotherapy(IC) for NPC patients.Diffusion-related IVIM parameters (pre-D) might be and perfusion-related parameters (pre-f) can be helpful as potential imaging biomarkers of the therapeutic response to IC in NPC patients.
