Tumor-associated microvascular changes offer important new insight into how tumors grow and respond to treatment. This study was aimed to simultaneously assess the changes of microvascular morphology and function on ethylnitrosourea(ENU)-induced rat brain tumor model at different stages using 3D GR2-Based Microscopic MR Angiography (3DGR2-mMRA).
