Sodium and proton diffusion MRI as biomarkers for early therapeutic response in subcutaneous tumors.
The ability to quantitate early effects of tumor therapeutic response using noninvasive imaging would have a major impact in clinical oncology. One area of active research interest is the ability to use MR techniques to detect subtle changes in tumor cellular density. In this study, sodium and proton diffusion MRI were compared for their ability to detect early cellular changes in tumors treate...
متن کاملAssessment of multiexponential diffusion features as MRI cancer therapy response metrics.
The aim of this study was to empirically test the effect of chemotherapy-induced tissue changes in a glioma model as measured by several diffusion indices calculated from nonmonoexponential formalisms over a wide range of b-values. We also compared these results to the conventional two-point apparent diffusion coefficient calculation using nominal b-values. Diffusion-weighted imaging was perfor...
متن کاملAssessment of therapeutic response in Crohn's disease using quantitative dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) parameters
The aim of the study was to investigate dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) as a potential marker to assess the therapeutic responses of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and to determine the parameter or combination of parameters most strongly associated with changes in clinical indicators after treatment.In 22 CD patients, DCE-MRI was performed w...
متن کاملDiffusion MRI: A Biomarker for Cancer Treatment Response
Anatomical imaging in clinical oncology practice traditionally has relied upon comparison of patient images following completion of therapeutic intervention with pretreatment images. Therapeutic success is quantitatied in terms of gross changes in tumor size from the anatomical images 6-12 weeks following completion of treatment. The hope is that new approaches such as “molecular imaging” could...
متن کاملPredicting and monitoring cancer treatment response with diffusion-weighted MRI.
An imaging biomarker that would provide for an early quantitative metric of clinical treatment response in cancer patients would provide for a paradigm shift in cancer care. Currently, nonimage based clinical outcome metrics include morphology, clinical, and laboratory parameters, however, these are obtained relatively late following treatment. Diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) holds promise for ...
