To assess the ability of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for evaluating T stage and correlation with histological T stage of rectal cancer.
The diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of T2WI and DWI combined with T2WI for T stage were evaluated. Mean tumor apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was compared with histological T stage.
There were no significant differences in the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity no matter what kind of T stage was concerned. The difference between ADC values and histological T stage were significantly different.
DWI was useful for evaluating T stage of rectal cancer. The ADC may predict the histological grade.
评估扩散加权成像（DWI）对直肠癌T分期的评估能力及其与组织学T分期的相关性。
评估T2WI以及DWI联合T2WI对T分期的诊断准确性、敏感性和特异性。比较肿瘤平均表观扩散系数（ADC）与组织学T分期。
无论涉及何种T分期，诊断准确性、敏感性和特异性均无显著差异。ADC值与组织学T分期之间的差异有统计学意义。
DWI有助于评估直肠癌的T分期。ADC可预测组织学分级。
