Locally advanced rectal cancer: Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of diffusion- weighted MR imaging in the response assessment after neoadjuvant chemo- radiotherapy  Pietro Valerio Foti, Giuseppe Privitera, Sebastiano Piana, Stefano Palmucci, Corrado Spatola, Roberta Bevilacqua, Luigi Raffaele, Vincenzo Salamone, Rosario Caltabiano, Gaetano Magro, Giovanni Li Destri, Pietro Milone, Giovanni Carlo Ettorre  European Journal of Radiology Open  Volume 3, Pages 145-152 (January 2016) DOI: 10.1016/j.ejro.2016.06.003 Copyright © 2016 The Authors Terms and Conditions

Fig. 2 Complete response. MR images of a 70-year old man classified as complete responder on combined set of conventional and DW images and as partial responder on T2-weighted images. (a) Pre-CRT axial T2-weighted image shows neoplastic tissue in the middle rectum (white arrow) with nodal involvement (white arrowhead); the tumor has spread through the rectal wall into the perirectal fat for less than 5mm (T3a N2 stage). (b) Pre-CRT DW (b=800s/mm2) image shows a focal high signal intensity area in the corresponding tumor (white arrow). (c) Pre-CRT ADC map at the same level shows reciprocal low signal intensity area due to the pathological tissue (white arrow). The mean ADC value was 0.752×10−3s/mm2. (d) Post-CRT axial T2-weighted image shows a wall thickening of the rectum with low signal intensity (white arrow), not clearly depicted as fibrosis. (e) Post-CRT DW (b=800s/mm2) image shows no residual high signal intensity in the primary tumor bed. (f) Post-CRT ADC map at the same level: the mean ADC value was 1.076×10−3s/mm2. On the basis of qualitative and quantitative DWI analysis the patient should be considered as complete responder. (g) Photomicrograph (H&E x800). Complete response (TRG: 4), absence of tumor remnants; fibrous reaction induced by the treatment and calcifications are evident.

Fig. 3 Partial response. MR images of a 55-year old woman classified as partial responder both on combined set of conventional and DW images and on T2-weighted images. (a) Pre-CRT axial T2-weighted image shows wall thickening of the middle rectum (white arrow) with spread into the perirectal fat for less than 10mm; there are also some lymph nodes (white arrowhead) into the mesorectal fat (T3b N2). (b) Pre-CRT DW (b=800s/mm2) image shows high signal intensity area in the corresponding tumor (white arrow). (c) Pre-CRT ADC map at the same level shows low signal intensity area due to the pathological tissue (white arrow). The mean ADC value was 0.804×10−3s/mm2. (d) Post-CRT axial T2-weighted image shows tumor shrinkage and intermediate signal intensity tissue in the rectal wall, not clearly depicted as fibrosis. (e) Post-CRT DW (b=800s/mm2) image shows reduction of the high signal intensity area, which is now limited to a focal spot in the rectal wall (white arrow). (f) Post-CRT ADC map at the same level shows a focal low signal intensity area corresponding to the residual tumor (white arrow). The mean ADC value was 1.237×10−3s/mm2. (g) Photomicrograph (H&E x800). Intermediate regression (TRG: 2+3), predominance of the fibrous reaction induced by the treatment and few tumor remnants.

Fig. 4 Stable disease. MR images of a 77-year old man classified as stable disease both on combined set of conventional and DW images and on T2-weighted images. (a) Pre-CRT axial T2-weighted image shows neoplastic tissue in the middle rectum (white arrow) with nodal involvement (white arrowhead). The tumor has spread into the mesorectal fat for more than 10mm (T3c N1 stage). (b) Pre-CRT DW (b=800s/mm2) image shows high signal intensity area due to neoplastic tissue (white arrows). (c) Pre-CRT ADC map at the same level shows low signal intensity area (white arrow). The mean ADC value was 0.937×10−3s/mm2. (d) Post-CRT axial T2-weighted image shows a poor tumor reduction with persistence of neoplastic spread (white arrow) into the mesorectal fat (T3 stage). (e) Post-CRT DW (b=800s/mm2) image shows high signal intensity area in the corresponding tumor (white arrows). (f) Post-CRT ADC map at the same level shows low signal intensity area (white arrow). (g) Photomicrograph (H&E x600). Poor regression (TRG: 0+1), predominance of areas with tumor remnants surrounded by a poor fibrous reaction induced by the treatment.
