Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Radiotherapy causes physiological changes of microenvironment in tumor tissue, which may have potential as a predictive value for radiation response. This study was prospectively conducted to clarify whether dynamic susceptiblility contrast (DSC) MR imaging detects the microvascular change in tumor before and after radiotherapy. Patients who had brain metastases underwent stereotactic radiotherapy were assessed by DSC MR imaging. DSC MR imaging was performed within one week before SRT. DSC MR imaging parameters a relative blood volume (rCBV) and a relative cerebral blood volume (rCBF) were analyzed. The differences of rCBV ratios (p = 0.002) and rCBF ratios (p = 0.004) between pre-SRT and one month after SRT were statistically significance. Microvascluar flow in rCBV ratios and rCBF ratios were deceased prior to shrinking of tumor in contrast weighted T1 imaging. DSC MR imaging has possibility early imaging biomarker for tumor response after radiotherapy.
