Whether radiomics methods are useful in prediction of therapeutic response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) is unclear. This study aimed to investigate multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence-based radiomics methods in evaluating therapeutic response to nCRT in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).
