Characterization of tumor angiogenesis with dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and biodegradable macromolecular contrast agents in mice.
The efficacy of polydisulfide-based biodegradable macromolecular contrast agents for characterizing tumor angiogenesis was investigated in a mouse model using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI). Biodegradable macromolecular MRI contrast agents, gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA) cystamine copolymers (GDCC), and Gd-DTPA cystine copolymers (GDCP), with molecular weights of 20 and 70 kDa wer...
متن کاملLiver-specific agents for contrast-enhanced MRI: role in oncological imaging
Liver-specific magnetic resonance (MR) contrast agents are increasingly used in evaluation of the liver. They are effective in detection and morphological characterization of lesions, and can be useful for evaluation of biliary tree anatomy and liver function. The typical appearances and imaging pitfalls of various tumours at MR imaging performed with these agents can be understood by the inter...
متن کاملMacromolecular MRI contrast agents for imaging tumor angiogenesis.
Angiogenesis has long been accepted as a vital process in the growth and metastasis of tumors. As a result it is the target of several novel anti-cancer medications. Consequently, there is an urgent clinical need to develop accurate, non-invasive imaging techniques to improve the characterization of tumor angiogenesis and the monitoring of the response to anti-angiogenic therapy. Macromolecular...
متن کاملEngineered atherosclerosis-specific zinc ferrite nanocomplex-based MRI contrast agents
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular diseases are the most prevalent cause of morbidity and mortality affecting millions of people globally. The most effective way to counter cardiovascular complications is early diagnosis and the safest non-invasive diagnostic approach is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this study, superparamagnetic ferrite nanoparticles doped with zinc, exhibiting highly enhanced s...
متن کاملDelayed Contrast Enhanced MRI of Cartilage: Comparison of Ionic and Non-ionic Contrast Agents
Hypothesis: Delayed Gd(DTPA) enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) is a method designed to image the distribution of fixed charge density in cartilage, based on the premise that mobile ions will distribute in cartilage in relation to the concentration of the charged glycosoaminoglycan (GAG) molecules. The hypothesis to be tested here is whether the variation of T1 values post-Gd is a true reflect...
