We aimed to explore the diagnostic value of amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) imaging combined with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in differentiating rectal cancer from non-rectal cancer. The result showed that, compared with APTw or DWI (AUC=0.846 and 0.854, respectively), the highest diagnostic efficacy (AUC=0.967) was acquired using APTw combined with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values.
