Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MR imaging is used increasingly often to evaluate tumor angiogenesis and the efficacy of antiangiogenic drugs. In clinical practice DCE-MR imaging applications are largely centered on lesion…
Advances in hardware and software enable high-quality body diffusion-weighted images to be acquired for oncologic assessment. 3.0 T affords improved signal/noise for higher spatial resolution and smaller field-of-view diffusion-weighted imaging…
The authors discuss eight areas of quantitative MR imaging that are currently used (RECIST, DCE-MR imaging, DSC-MR imaging, diffusion MR imaging) in clinical trials or emerging (CEST, elastography, hyperpolarized MR…
DW and DCE MR imaging contribute significantly to diagnosis, treatment planning, response assessment, and prognosis in personalized cancer medicine. Nevertheless, the need for further standardization of these techniques needs to…
Antonio Luna, MD, Editor Treatment of oncologic patients has recently changed to personalized therapy, driven by both the development of new-targeted drugs and an increasing use of genetic and molecular…
