This
study showed that T2 mapping combined with DKI had a better performance in the differential
diagnosis of rectal
cancer with and without vascular invasion.

male rectal cancer patient without vascular invasion. T2W (1a), T2W with
ROI s(1b), DWI (1c), T2 mapping (1d) , FA (1e) , MD (1f), Da (1g), Dr (1h) , MK
