We applied several functional and molecular MRI
modalities to U87MG tumor-bearing rats that were treated
with radiation therapy (40 Gy or 20 Gy). Our results
show that tumor ADC, blood flow, and APT were all useful
imaging biomarkers by which to predict glioma response
to radiotherapy. The APT signal was most promising for
early response assessment in this model.
