Dynamic Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) and Diffusion Weighted MR Imaging (DWI) for Differentiation between Benign and Malignant Salivary Gland Tumors
Background: Salivary gland tumors form nearly 3% of head and neck tumors. Due to their large histological variety and vicinity to facial nerves, pre-operative diagnosis and differentiation of benign and malignant parotid tumors are a major challenge for radiologists. Objective: The majority of these tumors are benign; however, sometimes they tend to transform into a malignant form. Functional M...
متن کاملAutomatic Prostate Cancer Segmentation Using Kinetic Analysis in Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI
Background: Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) provides functional information on the microcirculation in tissues by analyzing the enhancement kinetics which can be used as biomarkers for prostate lesions detection and characterization.Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate spatiotemporal patterns of tumors by extracting semi-quantitative as well as w...
متن کاملParameter Fits Using Measured Population AIF vs. Literature AIF in DCE-MRI of Pancreatic Cancer Xenograft Model
Introduction. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) has become an important tool in measuring tumour perfusion in animal models of cancer. Standard Kety model analysis of tumour perfusion [1] requires knowledge of the contrast agent concentration in the blood plasma, known as the arterial input function (AIF). Many DCE-MRI studies in mice use an assumed AIF taken from the literature (e.g. Lyn...
متن کاملTreatment Response Evaluation of Breast Cancer after Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Usefulness of the Imaging Parameters of MRI and PET/CT
This study was aimed to evaluate the ability of imaging parameters measured on dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to serve as response markers in breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). In 20 patients with breast cancer, DCE-MRI and DWI using a 3 T scanner and PET/...
متن کاملNovel DCE-MRI Technique: Application to Breast Cancer
Introduction: Increased microvessel density and increased permeability of the vascular bed are important biomarkers of malignancy and are detected in aggressive breast cancer. These parameters can be assessed by dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) that has been used to determine the tumor grade, extent of disease, and treatment response (1, 2). In breast cancer DCE-MRI studies have reported...
