In this study, we investigated the potential of combining dynamic contrast enhanced MRI and diffusion weighted imaging method for evaluating the response of RCHOP in non- Hodgkin lymphoma. Our results suggest that the change in kinetic model parameters and ADC values after the administration of RCHOP can be used a as an indicator of durable response to RCHOP therapy.
