Carbogen response patterns correspond with liver tumor growth rates

According to researchers in France, "we previously performed MRI studies of HCC (hepatocellular carcinomas) in mice showing the feasibility of measuring a carbogen effect. In the present study carbogen response of the whole tumor was compared with growth characteristics during longitudinal follow-up. HCC were chemically induced."

"The imaging protocol at 4.7 T comprised a fast spin-echo sequence for high-resolution screening and measurement of growth curves, and a fast gradient echo sequence allowing an entire T2*w image acquisition per respiratory cycle to perform MRI under...
