Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study is to evaluate the ability of dynamic contrast enhanced computed tomography (DCE-CT) to assess intratumor physiological heterogeneity in tumors with different angiogenic phenotypes. DCE-CT imaging was performed on athymic nude mice bearing xenograft wild type (MCF-7(neo)) and VEGF-transfected (MCF-7(VEGF)) tumors by using a clinical multislice CT, and compared to skeletal muscle....
