An elderly man with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (AJCC stage III). (a) Axial enhanced fat suppression T1WI before CCRT with lesions located on the left side. (b) Axial enhanced fat suppression T1WI at 3 months after the end of CCRT indicates a partial response (PR) according to RECIST 1.1; the patient was included in RG. (c) R2* value in the ROI was 45.90 Hz on the R2* color-coded map before CCRT. (d) R2* value in the ROI was 66.40 Hz at 3 months after the end of CCRT. CCRT, concurrent chemoradiotherapy; RECIST, response evaluation criteria for solid tumors; RG, responding group; ROI, region of interest; AJCC, American Joint Committee on Cancer; T1WI, T1-weighted image
