Example of 3D DCE MRI

Example of 3D DCE MRI

Example of 3D DCE MRI for assessment of microvascular characteristics performed with a new 3D RAD-MGE sequence applied to a colorectal tumor s.c. implanted at the abdominal level of a mouse. (a) High-resolution spin-echo image and (b) corresponding lower-resolution radial slice for DCE MRI. The tumor is labeled by a cross in the high-resolution image. (c) 3D Ktrans map of the tumor. The center of the tumor presents lower Ktrans values (blue colors: Ktrans<0.02 min-1) than the rim, as often observed in s.c. implanted tumors. (Adapted from Vautier et al., Magn. Reson. Med. 2010)
