Application of diffusion kurtosis imaging in differentiating T0-T1 from T2 rectal tumors
The combination of HR-T2WI and diffusivity can effectively detect pT0-T1 rectal tumors. HR-T2WI combined with diffusivity derived from DKI may serve as a potential biomarker for early assessment of rectal tumors, offering valuable insights for selecting suitable candidates for organ-preserving surgery.
