Early detection of high-grade malignancy using novel contrast mechanisms and detection methods significantly increases the treatment options and the patients’ survival rate. For this purpose, the local magnetic-field-gradient variations due to irregular water contents and deoxyhemoglobin concentration in early glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is sensitively detected by active-feedback electronic devices and nonlinear spin dynamics. The active-feedback phases and strength were tuned to manipulate the underlying spin dynamics and thus optimize the feedback-induced avalanching spin amplification effect. In vivo results from GBM mouse models show that up to 12 times of improved tumor-to-normal-tissue contrasts can be achieved to highlight early GBM.
