[Abstract] Imaging evaluation of rectal cancer mainly focuses on diagnosis, preoperative staging and prediction of treatment response. Accurate preoperative staging and prediction of therapeutic response after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) can provide a basis for clinical selection of appropriate treatment . Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) is a new technology derived from diffusion weighted imaging (DWI). It applies multi-b value scanning without intravenous injection of gadolinium contrast agent. It can quantify the perfusion and diffusion information in tissues and cover more comprehensive informations than DWI. It is useful in the diagnosis and treatment of rectal cancer. It has certain value in the diagnosis, staging and curative effect evaluation. This paper mainly reviews the application status and development trend of IVIM in rectal cancer.
