Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with functional features of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) are advancing imaging technologies that have potential to overcome limitations of conventional staging methods, radiation treatment planning and the assessment of tumor response in esophageal or esophagogastric cancer. This study aimed to explore the value of MRI for the prediction of tumor response to chemoradiotherapy and accurate target volume delineation as compared to CT simulation for patients with unresectable or potentially resectable esophageal or esophagogastric cancer undergoing chemoradiotherapy. The average CT texture features are also extracted before and during treatment to establish a model to predict the prognosis or side effects (e.g. radiation pneumonitis or esophagitis) of patients.

| Tumor response based on MRI and CT simulation | up to 8 weeks | |
| Radiotherapy target volume assessment with pre- and post-chemoradiotherapy based on MRI and CT simulation | up to 8 weeks | |
| Evaluation of tumor heterogeneity with IBEX software | Using the average CT images for texture extraction. Histogram, gradient, cooccurrence, gray-tone difference, and filtration-based techniques are used for texture feature extraction. Models incorporating texture features are established to compare to models incorporating clinical prognostic factors alone. | up to 8 weeks |
