A multimodal molecular MRI and DCE-US protocol was applied in kidney tumor xenograft in mice to follow up the response to anti-angiogenic treatments. Imaging was performed at D0 and D3 after monoclonal anti-body, tyrosine kinase inhibitor and m-Tor inhibitor administration. Tumor growth, perfusion (US), diffusion, first pass enhancement (1 min) and late enhancement (1 hour) of a targeted 3 contrast agent (MRI) were quantified. Tumor growth was reduced with treatments. Differences were observed in apparent diffusion coefficient, targeted contrast agent clearance and fixation in the different groups after treatment.
