Abstract

Objective To compare the appicaiton value btween the two different high b value of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in colorectal carcinoma. Methods All patients with rectal carcinoma underwent conventional scanning and DWI scanning by 3.0T MRI. In DWI, two different b value (1000 and 2500s/mm2 )were used. The ADC value of tumor and ipsilateral gluteus maximus under different b value on DWI were measured and compared. Results When b value is 1000s/mm2 , ADC value in tumor was (0.923±0.15)×10-3mm2 /s, and in glutes were (1.57±0.091)×10-3mm2 , when b value is 2500s/mm2, ADC value in tumor was (0.642±0.07)×10-3mm2 /s, and in glutes were (0.925±0.12)×10-3mm2 /s. There was significant difference in ADC ratio of tumor and glutes between the two groups. Conclusion The value of ADC ratio in the group which b value is 1000 s/mm2 was higher than that whose b value is 2500s/mm2 , ADC value can be used as a index of diagnosis and prognosis evaluation for rectal cancer.
