Notes, ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; D, pure diffusion coefficient; D*, perfusion-related incoherent microcirculation; f, microvascular vol fraction. The normal oesophageal wall is defined as T₀-staged tumour. Normal, and T₁, T₂, T₃, T₀_–₁, T₀_–₂, T₁_–₃, T₂_–₃ represent normal oesophageal wall, and the T₁, T₂, T₃, T₀_–₁, T₀_–₂, T₁_–₃, T₂_–₃ stages of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma, respectively.

^adenotes significant difference in the parameters between stages after Bonferroni correction (p < 0.05).
