High-risk populations, including those with a family history of cancer, genetic predispositions, and inflammatory bowel diseases, require more effective screening strategies beyond conventional methods like colonoscopy and fecal testing. Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI), a non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging technique, has shown promise in early cancer detection by capturing differences in water molecule diffusion in tissues. This paper explores the potential of DWI as a tool for early detection of rectal cancer in high-risk populations, highlighting its ability to identify pre-cancerous lesions, differentiate between benign and malignant tissues, and provide greater diagnostic accuracy.
