Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Cancer Research
  • In Vivo Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate monitoring of tumor microenvironment is crucial for cancer research.
  • Simultaneous measurement of multiple parameters can provide deeper insights.
  • Existing methods may have limitations in combined measurements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an experimental setup for simultaneous in vivo measurements.
  • To assess intracellular and extracellular pH, tumor bioenergetics, and temperature.
  • To identify and resolve potential measurement errors in a Magnetic Resonance (MR) setup.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a specialized experimental setup for Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging.
  • Simultaneous measurement of intracellular pH (by MR) and extracellular pH (by fiber-optic pH meter).
