Techniques and applications of dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in cancer
Abstract:
We first discuss several key technical issues associated with quantitative dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), and then provide examples of DCE-MRI in oncology. In particular, we examine the importance of both active and passive delivery of the contrast agent to the tissue under investigation, and repeatability/reproducibility in DCE-MRI studies. We then discuss examples of how DCE-MRI can assist in assessing and predicting therapeutic response in the neoadjuvant setting.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
