Abstract:
The evaluation of outcomes of cancer therapy in clinic are largely based on volumetric and morphological evidences.These evidences,however,are very limited in assessing the early effects of therapy.Functional and molecular MR imaging allows co-registration of functional/molecular-based information with high-resolution anatomical detail within the same imaging modality,which makes it possible for assessing the early effects of tumor therapy.
