In this study, amide proton transfer (APT) imaging was used to assess the acute response of a colorectal xenograft model to proteosome inhibitor therapy (ixazomib). Tumour apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), T1, and T2 were also acquired, alongside 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy data. Treated mice showed an inhibited tumour growth rate, decreased APT and increased ADC, compared with control mice, which could be due to changes in protein homeostasis as a result of proteasome inhibition by the drug.
