Intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging of resectable oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma: association with tumour stage.

CONCLUSION: IVIM derived parameters can be associated with T-stage of oesophageal SCC. Advances in knowledge: 1. Intravoxel incoherent motion derived parameters are negatively correlated with stage of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma. 2. Among intravoxel incoherent motion derived parameters, microvascular volume fraction helps detect and stage oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
