Abstract:
:The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability of 3D isotropic MRI and quantitative multi-parametric MRI characterization on an orthotopic pancreatic head tumor model in rats. 3D isotropic T2 -weighted MRI was performed as a routine for tumor longitudinal follow-up and volume estimation. Common bile duct diameter was measured from 3D multiplanar reconstruction. Quantitative multi-parametric measurements including pixel-wise T2 , T1 relaxivity, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and apparent diffusion kurtosis mapping were performed twice throughout tumor growth. Semi-quantitative and quantitative analyses based on an extended Tofts model were applied to region-of-interest-based dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging, followed by contrast ratio measurement on standard contrast-enhanced imaging. Moreover, low-level texture-based analysis was inspected for T2 , T1 , ADC and contrast ratio measurements. Results indicated that multi-parametric MRI showed good reproducibility for tumor characterization; the measurements were not affected by tumor growth. Tumor growth was further confirmed with histology examinations. To conclude, state-of-the-art clinical MRI techniques were translated to this preclinical tumor model with high reliability, and have paved the way for translational oncology studies on this tumor model.
