Early detection of changes in the vascularity and
cellularity of a tumor could represent a significant
advance in treatment management using anti-angiogenic
agents. We investigated the potential value of MR-Elastography
(800, 900 and 1000 Hz) and Diffusion Weighted MR imaging
(6 b-values from 0 to 1000 s/mm) in the detection of
microstructural changes induced by the therapy (Sorafenib,
Nexavar ) in a human liver cancer cell line (HepG2)
implanted in immune-deficient mice.. Results showed that
potentially, only the biomechanical dispersion
properties were sensitive to the changes induced by the
anti-angiogenic treatment, while the apparent diffusion
properties were not altered.
