Diagnostic performance of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in assessing lymph node metastasis of esophageal cancer compared with PET

ConclusionsDWI, which depends on cancer cell volume followed by elevated intranodal density, is a non-invasive modality and showed higher sensitivity than PET. It has clinical impact in predicting postoperative survival for patients with eSCC alongside its diagnostic ability and has significant performance in clinical practice.
