Synopsis
Hypoxia is a ubiquitous negative prognostic factor in solid tumours. Oxygen-enhanced MRI can spatially map regions refractory to an oxygen challenge and, when combined with a perfusion measurement, has the potential to quantify hypoxia in vivo. We developed the technique in healthy volunteers before successfully translating into a longitudinal patient study of patients with cervical carcinoma. We present initial data to support OE-MRI quantifying and mapping hypoxia modification following therapy in this clinical dataset.
