Multiparametric MRI for characterization of the tumour microenvironment

Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology, Published online: 19 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41571-024-00891-1By combining multiple MRI sequences, each providing different but complementary information about the tumour microenvironment (TME), multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) enables non-invasive assessment of the heterogeneous features of the TME components. The authors of this Review describe the role of mpMRI in the non-invasive characterization of the TME, presenting examples of its utility in cancer detection, staging and assessment of response to therapy, and considering future applications for personalized integrated diagnostics.
