NASHVILLE, Tennessee, June 9 (TNSjou) -- Vanderbilt University Medical Center issued the following news:
Magnetic resonance imaging has been used to monitor the effectiveness of cancer treatment noninvasively. However, traditional MRI measures bulk tumor volume without accounting for heterogeneity (variation) in tumor cells. More granular imaging techniques that can quantify cellular changes in treated tumors are needed.
