Non-invasive quantification of anti-angiogenic therapy by contrast-enhanced MRI in experimental pancreatic cancer.

CONCLUSION: Dynamic MRI can quantify antiangiogenic effects on tumor microvasculature before changes in tumor volumes are detectable. Thus, this technique is a reasonable addition to morphological MRI and may be applied as an alternative to histopathology.
