Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Sarcoma Viral Oncogene Homologue (KRAS) mutation status is a crucial biomarker in rectal cancer as KRAS mutations confer resistance to anti-EGFR targeted therapies and influence chemotherapy selection, affecting treatment decisions and prognosis. This study evaluates the efficacy of the hybrid intravoxel incoherent motion and diffusion kurtosis imaging (IVIM-DKI) model for non-invasive...
