Golden-angle radial sparse parallel magnetic resonance imaging of rectal perfusion: utility in the diagnosis of poorly differentiated rectal cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The objective of this retrospective investigation is to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of a dual-parameter strategy that integrates either time-resolved angiography with stochastic trajectories (TWIST) or golden-angle radial sparse parallel (GRASP)-derived dynamic contrast agent-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for the identification of poorly differentiated rectal cancer (RC). The purpose of this investigation is to contrast the aforementioned methodology with conventional single-factor assessments that rely solely on DWI, and ascertain its comparative efficacy.

Methods

This study was not registered on a clinical trial platform. Consecutive individuals diagnosed with non-mucinous rectal adenocarcinoma through e
