In order to tapped the potential of pCR prediction on T2WI comprehensively, both quantitative and qualitative parameters were evaluated in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. A development group were enrolled to assess these parameters and an external validation group to verify the diagnostic performance. Post-nCRT CATV (CATVpost) and the reduction rate of SIT (SITRR) were proved that were independently associated with pCR and can help for pCR prediction.
