Therapy response with diffusion MRI: an update
The efficiency of an oncological treatment regimen is often assessed by morphological criteria such as tumour size evaluated by cross-sectional imaging, or by laboratory measurements of plasma biomarkers. Because these types of measures typically allow for assessment of treatment response several weeks or even months after the start of therapy, earlier response assessment that provides insight ...
متن کاملBony metastases: assessing response to therapy with whole-body diffusion MRI
There are no universally accepted methods for assessing tumour response in skeletal sites with metastatic disease; response is assessed by a combination of imaging tests, serum and urine biochemical markers and symptoms assessments. Whole-body diffusion magnetic resonance imaging excels at bone marrow assessments at diagnosis and for therapy evaluations. It can potentially address unmet clinica...
متن کاملComprehensive breast MRI: an update
With increasing use of clinical breast MRI and a plethora of novel techniques and sequences for lesion characterisation, a standardised approach to lesion description and reporting is increasingly important. This facilitates meaningful research and audit, particularly in the context of multicentre studies. To this end the American College of Radiology has recently published the 5 edition of the...
متن کاملTherapy monitoring of skeletal metastases with whole-body diffusion MRI.
Current methods of assessing tumor response at skeletal sites with metastatic disease use a combination of imaging tests, serum and urine biochemical markers, and symptoms assessment. These methods do not always enable the positive assessment of therapeutic benefit to be made but instead provide an evaluation of progression, which then guides therapy decisions in the clinic. Functional imaging ...
متن کاملMonitoring prostate thermal therapy with diffusion-weighted MRI.
For MR-guided minimally invasive therapies, it is important to have a repeatable and reliable tissue viability evaluation method. The use of diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) to evaluate tissue damage was assessed in 19 canine prostates with cryoablation or high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) ablation. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) trace value was measured in the treated tissue immediately up...
