Synopsis
AcidoCEST MRI is a promising technique to directly measure extracellular pH in vivo and is well-suited to imaging tumors, which can exhibit acidosis. However, few studies have demonstrated the conditions and the minimum contrast agent concentrations needed for robust acidoCEST MRI. In this study, we employed micro-CT to determine the uptake of iopamidol in tumors with intratumoral and intravenous delivery of isovue-370, estimated the accuracy of pH measured by MRI vs. a pH meter, demonstrated the minimum iopamidol concentration required for acidoCEST MRI, and reported pH measurements in different tumor xenograft models.
