• Conventional and DW-MRI is useful for predicting PR after nCRT in LACC. • The combination of T2 sequences, DW-MRI, and the quantitative measurement of ADC mean showed the best results in predicting pathological PR. • The best cutoff for predicting pathological PR was ADCmeanvalue ≤ 1.1 × 10-3 mm2/s.
