This study monitored the changes of microvasculature and
hypoxia after radiotherapy in TRAMP tumor using carbogen
challenging BOLD MRI. A single dose irradiation was
delivered in peripheral half of the tumor. The BOLD
response to carbogen in the irradiated portion decreased
compared with the non-irradiated portion. The
immunohistochemistry images of CD31 and pimonidazole
showed less hypoxia in the irradiated portion, while a
trend of acute hypoxia in the non-irradiated region was
noticed to shift to chronic hypoxia in the irradiated
region. Carbogen-challenging BOLD MRI can be used to
detect the hypoxic change within a tumor in response to
radiotherapy
