MR imaging of Vasculature Biomarkers in Glioma
State-of-the-Art:
- combined imaging of vessel size imaging (VSI) and DCE-MRI biomarkers in a mouse model
- study with mouse tumor model to characterize the changes in neovasulature under therapy in preparation
New Developments:
- TOF-Angiography in a mouse featuring a high in-plane resolution (50µm)
- postprocessing: Segmentation of the tumor to account for GBM heterogeneity
