Preoperative esophageal cancer staging assessment based on intravoxel incoherent motion and apparent diffusion coefficient: a comparative study of maximum-diameter slice region of interest and whole volume of interest analysis
MRI-derived IVIM and ADC parameters provide non-invasive biomarkers for ESCC staging with the potential to guide preoperative decision-making, while exploring different ROI delineation strategies may further enhance research and clinical application.
