Reduced field-of-view versus full field-of-view diffusion-weighted imaging for the evaluation of complete response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.

rFOV DWI of rectal cancer can provide better overall image quality, and its addition to conventional rectal MRI may provide better diagnostic accuracy than fFOV DWI in the evaluation of CR to neoadjuvant CRT in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.
