DCE MRI has been extensively studied and suggested to be
a useful method for evaluating tumor hypoxia. Here, we
evaluated correlations between quantitative DCE MRI and
radiation outcome of the well characterized syngeneic
Dunning prostate rat tumor R3327-AT1. Following DCE MRI,
8 tumors were irradiated with a single dose of 30 Gy,
while rats breathed air or oxygen, whereas two served as
non-irradiated controls. Irradiation caused significant
tumor growth delay. Strong correlation was observed
between tumor growth delay and ve, but there no obvious
correlation with Ktrans. High temporal resolution DCE
MRI could provide predictive insight into response to
radiation.
