A novel structural modeling magnitude and orientation radiomic descriptor for evaluating response to neoadjuvant therapy in rectal cancers via MRI by Charlems Alvarez-Jimenez, Jacob T. Antunes, Thomas DeSilvio, Zhouping Wei, Marwa Ismail, Joseph E. Willis, Emily Steinhagen, Andrei Purysko, David Liska, Smitha Krishnamurthi, Marka Crittenden, Michael Gough, Kristina Young, Anant Madabhushi, Eduardo Romero, Pallavi Tiwari, Satish E. Viswanath
