A multimodal molecular MRI and DCE-US protocol was
applied in kidney tumor xenograft in mice to follow up
the response to anti-angiogenic treatments. Imaging was
performed at D0 and D3 after monoclonal anti-body,
tyrosine kinase inhibitor and m-Tor inhibitor
administration. Tumor growth, perfusion (US), diffusion,
first pass enhancement (1 min) and late enhancement (1
hour) of a targeted 3 contrast agent (MRI) were
quantified. Tumor growth was reduced with treatments.
Differences were observed in apparent diffusion
coefficient, targeted contrast agent clearance and
fixation in the different groups after treatment.
