Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Both dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI and PET provide quantitative information on tumor biology in living organisms. However, imaging biomarkers often neglect tissue heterogeneity by focusing on distributional summary statistics. We analyzed the spatial relationship of α(v)β(3) expression, glucose metabolism, and perfusion by PET and DCE MRI, focusing on tumor heterogeneity. METHODS: Thirteen...
