Abstract:IntroductionColorectal cancer is the third most diagnosed cancer globally. Lymph node metastases significantly affect prognosis, emphasizing the importance of early detection and management. Despite significant advances in conventional MRI's role in staging, improvements in advanced functional imaging such as diffusionweighted imaging (DWI) in identifying lymph node metastases persist.
ObjectivesThe aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) MRI in evaluating lymph node stagin… Show more
