Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a common malignant tumour in Asian countries with nearly 80% of them being squamous cell carcinoma. The aim is to investigate the potential of MRI (T2W & CE-T1W) texture analysis to predict response in patients with advanced Nasopharyngeal carcinoma(squamous cell carcinoma).The patients were grouped into Residual/Non-Responders and Non-Residual/Responders based on the post-treatment MR images. Texture analysis was used to find significant parameters. On T2WI, significance were recorded with 2 parameters which showed potential to predict the response to treatment and can be further used in the future studies to predict and alter the treatment course and cycles
