Synopsis
We investigated TSC within Gross Tumor Volume (GTV), and surrounding tissue and healthy tissue (HR). 12 patients with a total of 14 GTV was included. 23Na MRI were acquired at three different time-points (2days pre-, 5days post-, 40days post-SRS). TSC was measured within GTV, HR and isodose-areas between 2 and 18Gy at all time-points. Results show changes in TSC within GTV shortly after SRS and subsequent TSC recovery. TSC was higher within higher isodose-areas showing a correlation of radiation exposure and TSC. Findings suggest that TSC might be able to quantify cell response to radiation of tumorous and healthy tissue.
