Abstract: The judgment of early curative effect is important to the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and the prognosis of the patients.As a rapid imaging technique,magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) is used to quantitatively analyze the changes of water molecules in the tissue by means of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC),so as to diagnose the small lesions of nasopharyngeal carcinoma accurately,evaluate the early curative effect and observe the prognosis.With the continuous improvement and progress of MRI and data analysis technology,DWI in the diagnosis and treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma shows a broader application prospect.
