To assess preoperative Short Course Radiotherapy (SCR) tumor response in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) by means of parameters derived from Standardized Index of Shape (SIS) dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI, Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC), Intravoxel Incoherent Motion and Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging derived parameters by diffusion weighted (DW) MRI.

Crude rates of symptomatic cardiac toxicity in esophageal carcinoma are reportedly 10.8% [1]. Cardiac manifestations including clinical findings such as pericardial effusion, arrhythmia, ischemia and cardiomyopathy, typically occur between 4 to 24 months following thoracic radiation [2, 3].
[...]
To evaluate the diagnostic potential of perfusion parameters derived from dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging (DCE-MRI), diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI), and parameters derived from the intravoxel incoherent motion model (IVIM)-based diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in differentiating between pancreatic tumors and normal pancreatic parenchyma.
