[Abstract] Objective: To explore the value of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and histogram analyses for assessing preoperative T stages of rectal cancer.Materials and Methods: Fifty patients were enrolled confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma by pathology from our hospital. The value of DKI parameters and histogram metrics for assessing preoperative T stages in rectal cancer were retrospectively analyzed.Results: (1) In all, there were 19 early rectal cancer (T1-2) and 31 advanced cancer (T3-4). ADC- 10th and ADC-25th were significantly higher in T1-2 than in T3-4 rectal cancer [the ADC value were (0.65±0.08)×10-3 mm2/s vs (0.58±0.11)×10-3 mm2/s, (0.73±0.11)×10-3 mm2/s vs (0.65±0.11)×10-3 mm2/s, and the P value were 0.035, 0.024 respectively]. (2) D-10th and D-25th were also significantly higher in T1-2 than in T3-4 rectal cancer [the D value were 0.96±0.19 × 10-3 mm2/s vs 0.84±0.16×10-3 mm2/s, 1.15±0.27×10-3 mm2/s vs 0.99±0.18×10-3 mm2/s, and the P value were 0.017, 0.044 respectively]. (3) K value and its histogram metrics showed no statistically significance between T1-2 and T3- 4. (4) D-10th had the biggest area under the curve (AUC 0.799) of all the parameters, the sensitivity and specificity were 84.2%, 61.3% respectively. (5) DKI combined with traditional MRI had an accuracy of 68% to assess the lymph node of rectal cancer.Conclusions: DKI and its histogram metrics are quite valuable for assessing preoperative T stages of rectal cancer, and D-10th has the highest diagnostic efficiency.
