The assessment of nodal involvement in patients with rectal cancer (RC) is fundamental in
disease management. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is routinely used for local and …

Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based lymph node staging remains a
significant challenge in the treatment of rectal cancer. Pretreatment evaluation of lymph …

Purpose To explore the potential of texture analysis based on apparent diffusion coefficient
(ADC) maps, as a predictor of local invasion depth (stage pT1‐2 versus pT3‐4) and nodal …

Abstract Background Accurate lymph nodes (LNs) assessment is important for rectal cancer
(RC) staging in multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI). However, it is …

Purpose To establish and validate two predictive radiomics models for preoperative
prediction of lymph node metastases (LNMs) and tumor deposits (TDs) respectively in rectal …

Background Lymph node (LN) staging plays an important role in treatment decision‐making.
Current problem is that preoperative detection of LN involvement is always highly …

Objective To explore the value of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) radiomics of
the regional largest short-axis lymph nodes for evaluating lymph node metastasis in patients …

Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer, with high morbidity and mortality
rates. In particular, locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is difficult to treat and has a high …

Objective To investigate the value of a clinical-MRI radiomics model based on clinical
characteristics and T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) for preoperatively evaluating lymph node …

The presence or absence of lymph node metastases is a very important prognostic factor in
patients with solid tumors. Current invasive and noninvasive diagnostic methods for N …
