Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths
worldwide. MRI can play a major role being a noninvasive
imaging technique, characterized by good soft tissue
contrast, high spatial resolution, and absence of
ionizing radiation. We propose here an in vivo MRI
longitudinal study of lung adenocarcinoma detection in
tumor-bearing immunodeficient mice without the use of
contrast agents. Free-breathing Ultra-short Echo Time
(UTE) MRI acquisitions were compared to standard
gradient echo lung MR images using both
respiratory-gated and free-breathing protocols. The
results were validated against Bioluminescence Imaging
(BLI) and histology.
