We investigate the potential of thewhole-tumor histogram of conventional DWI and DKI derived parameters to predict the tumor response to neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy in locally advanced rectal cancer. Our study demonstrated that whole-tumor histogram analysis of DKI derived parameter maps has potential value to predict tumor response.
