Synopsis

Keywords: Digestive, CancerLymphatic vascular invasion（LVI）can help clinicians choose the best treatment strategy for patients. Pathological examination is the gold standard for the diagnosis of LVI in rectal cancer, but it is an invasive method. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging is valuable for the prediction of LVI in rectal cancer. In this study, we quantitatively evaluated the value of LVI in rectal cancer using T2 mapping and DWI sequences.
