摘要: PURPOSE: To compare dynamic contrast material–enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and diffusion-weighted MR for noninvasive evaluation of early late effects a vascular targeting agent in rat tumor model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study protocol was approved by the local ethics committee animal care use. Thirteen rats with one rhabdomyosarcoma each flank (26 tumors) underwent contrast-enhanced echo-planar 1.5-T unit before intraperitoneal injection combretastatin A4 phosphate at (1 6 hours) later (2 9 days) follow-up examinations after injection. Histopathologic examination performed time point. apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) calculated separately on basis images obtained low b gradient values (ADClow; = 0, 50, 100 sec/mm2) high (ADChigh; 500, 750, 1000 sec/mm2). difference between...
