Synopsis
Mapping the intra-tumoral heterogeneity of perfusion before and after treatment offers the opportunity to identify hypoxic regions in the tumour and predict recurrent disease. Intravoxel Incoherent Motion (IVIM) parametric maps were obtained in patients with prostate cancer before and after radiation therapy. IVIM shows potential for the assessment of intra-tumoral heterogeneity of perfusion in prostate cancer.
