Table 3.

The findings of APTw-SI, MTR and ADC values for predicting the short-term treatment outcome in NPC patients after chemoradiotherapy

CRT P value
Non-residual(n = 28) Residual(n = 12)
APTw-SI: MTRasym (%) 1.72 ± 1.21 1.64 ± 1.22 0.854
MTR (%) 31.24 ± 5.21 34.74 ± 1.54 0.003**
ADC value (10− 6 mm2/sec) 1004.34 ± 281.71 912.54 ± 175.29 0.304

Note: All values were shown in mean ± standard deviation. CRT: chemoradiotherapy; APTw-SI: amide proton transfer weighted signal intensity; MTR: magnetization transfer ratio; MTRasym: the asymmetric magnetization transfer ratio; ADC: apparent diffusion coefficient. *: P<0.05, **: P<0.01.
