## Abstract ## Purpose: To compare diffusionβweighted imaging (DWI) and magnetic resonance (MR) volumetry for predicting treatment outcomes of locally advanced rectal cancers with preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT). ## Materials and Methods: This prospective study was approved by our Instituti
## Objectives To evaluate the performance of diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) in addition to T2-weighted (T2W) MRI for nodal restaging after chemoradiation in rectal cancer. ## Methods Thirty patients underwent chemoradiation followed by MRI (1.5Β T) and surgery. Imaging consisted of T2W-MRI and DWI (
