Timelines for INSIGHT study functional imaging (FI) scans before, during, and after radical chemo-radiotherapy. (a) Timing of FI for patients receiving two cycles of induction chemotherapy (IC) prior to primary radical chemo-radiotherapy (CRT). For this group, FI consists of the following scans: DCE-MRI, DW-MRI, BOLD-MRI, FDG-PET/CT at each time point, except during CRT when FDG-PET/CT is omitted. (b) Timing of FI for patients receiving primary radical chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) alone. For this group, FI consists of the following scans: DCE-MRI, DW-MRI, BOLD-MRI, FDG-PET/CT at each time point. For both groups repeated pre-treatment baseline FI scans will be performed in a proportion of patients. Blood tests for FBC and serum markers of hypoxia will be taken on the same day as each of the FI scans
