Evaluation of Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging in Predicton of Tumor Budding Grade in Rectal Cancer

This study used diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) to predict the tumor budding (TB) grade in rectal cancer. The results showed that the parameters MK, MD and their combination parameter both perform great diagnostic efficiency. DKI could noninvasively predict TB grade of rectal cancer, which is an important prognostic information, and has important guiding significance for clinical treatment.
