Screening of the most sensitive DWI-derived biological insight from cellularity, vascularity, and microstructural complexity. (a) The standardized logistic regression coefficient of vascularity f, microstructural complexity (Kapp), and cellularity D. (b) Odds ratios of vascularity f, microstructural complexity (Kapp), and cellularity D. Notes: (1) the odds ratio of microstructural complexity (Kapp) is 3.440, indicating when Kapp increases by one unit, the probability of suffering from high-grade rectal cancer is as 3.440 times high as before. (2) The odds ratio of cellularity D was 9.350, indicating that when D decreased by one standard unit, the probability of suffering from high-grade rectal cancer was as 9.350 times high as before.
