Motivation: Tumor budding (TB) is an important additional prognostic factor for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).
Goal(s): Accurate TB assessment before surgery can help guide clinical decisions and improve patient prognosis.
Approach: This study explored the feasibility of amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) MR imaging in assessing TB grade in patients with rectal cancer (RC).
Results: We found that RC lesions with high-grade TB had higher APTw 90th percentile values than low-grade TB.
Impact: APTw MRI may be beneficial for implementing more accurate personalized treatment and improving tumor prognosis.
