Current application and prospect of dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors / 中华核医学与分子影像杂志

ABSTRACT

Tumor angiogenesis is closely related to the biological behavior of tumor tissue.Microvessel density is the gold standard to evaluate tumor angiogenesis,but it is invasive.Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI),a robust imaging method,is commonly used to non-invasively characterize changes in tumor vascularity and to assess the therapeutic effect of anticancer strategies.This review introduces the DCE-MRI and its current application in the diagnosis and treatment of tumor.
