Core Tip	This letter comments on Kang et al’s magnetic resonance imaging-based model for evaluating chemo efficacy in mutated colorectal cancer, notes its diagnostic potential, and suggests shifting to radiology biopsies considering radiation nonlinear effects. Advanced contrast agents and super-resolution methods allow for novel diagnostic procedures, radiologic biopsies, which can be used for cancer diagnostics and to provide basic data on the extracellular matrix alterations.
