The flowchart of study design. (a) Clinical characteristics and BOLD images of patients with ESCC who were treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy were collected. (b) Clinical characteristics and R2* value-related parameters were extracted. (c) Statistical analysis. (d) Diagnostic performance for predicting response and prognosis were obtained by ROC curve analysis, Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, Kaplan Meier curve and log rank test, respectively. BOLD, blood oxygenation level-dependent; MR, magnetic resonance; ROC, receiver operating characteristic
