Apparent diffusion coefficient predicts biochemical response in neuroendocrine liver metastases treated using targeted radiolabelled therapy
Introduction: Y-DOTATyr3octreotide (Y-DOTATOC) therapy targets tumour cells expressing somatostatin receptors and induces tumour apoptosis and necrosis. However, assessment of treatment response using conventional imaging criteria is unreliable because treatment may induce disease stabilization rather than disease regression, and disease can also be slow to regress despite clinical benefits [1]...
متن کاملSodium ion apparent diffusion coefficient in living rat brain.
The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of Na(+) was determined in live rat brain. The brain extracellular-to-intracellular Na(+) content ratio is approximately 8:2, which is the inverse of that for water in these spaces. Consequently, the ADC of Na(+) is primarily affected by motion in the extracellular space, and Na(+) can be viewed as a reporter molecule for motion in that space. Likewise, ...
متن کاملBiexponential apparent diffusion coefficient parametrization in adult vs newborn brain.
The decay of brain water signal with b-factor in adult and newborn brains has been measured over an extended b-factor range. Measurements of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) decay curves were made at 16 b-factors from 100 to 5000 s/mm(2) along three orthogonal directions using a line scan diffusion imaging (LSDI) sequence to acquire data from 0.09 ml voxels in a mid-brain axial slice. R...
متن کاملRole of Apparent diffusion coefficient value in Diffusion Weighted imaging of MRI to assessment of radiotherapy efficiency in the patient with glioma tumor during treatment
Introduction: Glioma is the most common primary malignancy of cerebral neoplasms in adults, which in spite of therapeutic significant efforts, has a very poor prognosis. The current standard treatment of these patients generally includes surgery and radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy with 6 courses of adjuvant use of temozolomide tabs. During these years, the nervous...
متن کاملEarly changes in the apparent diffusion coefficient and MMP-9 expression of a cervical carcinoma U14 allograft model following irradiation.
A cervical carcinoma allograft model was designed to assess the correlation between early changes in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) and the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in tumors. BALB/c mice with U14 tumor allografts on the right rear flank were irradiated with a single 20 Gy dose. All tumor-bearing ...
