[Abstract] Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the the characteristics of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) parameters and the degree of pathologic differentiation as well as Dukes staging in rectal cancer.Materials and Methods: A retrospective investigation of DCE-MRI image of fifty six patients with rectal cancer confirmed by surgical pathology was made, the time intensity curve (TIC) was rendered, the Ktrans, Ve, Kep parameters graphs were constructed, the characteristics of the TIC, Ktrans, Ve, Kep values as well as the correlation between the degree of tumor differentiation and Dukes stage were analyzed.Results: The TIC of rectal cancer and normal rectal wall around the tumor were divided into three types, in which 8 cases belonged to the type two, 48 cases belonged to the type three. The normal rectal wall around the tumor 41 cases belonged to the type one, 15 cases belonged to the type two. The Ktrans value increase with the worsening of the degree of differentiation and the increase of Dukes staging (P<0.01).There was no statistically significant difference of Ve and Kep values.Conclusions: DCE-MRI can reflect the haemodynamics of internal tumors, TIC and Ktrans value have certain correlation with the degree of pathologic differentiation and Dukes staging. TIC and Ktrans may be used to evaluate the malignancy degree of rectal cancer.
