Prediction of radiotherapy effect by diffusion-weighted imaging in esophageal carcinoma xenograft model

Conclusion: ADC values may change at the early stage before the morphological changes of tumors. Changes in cell density and necrosis ratio of transplanted tumors correspond to the changes in ADC values. DWI can be used for the early prediction of esophageal cancer radiotherapy efficacy.
