Abstract:
Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) enables non-invasive imaging characterization of tissue vascularity with small molecular weight gadolinium chelates. Depending on this technique, tissue blood perfusion, microvessel permeability and extracellular leakage space can be obtained. The basic principles of two dynamic MRI techniques (T2*W and T1W DCE-MRI) and their applications in prostate cancer of DCE-MRI including diagnosis, differential diagnosis, formulation of treatment plan, evaluation of therapeutic reaction, detection of lesion recurrent were reviewed in this article.
