Article Abstract

The purpose of this work was to study the anatomic and metabolic changes that occur with tumor progression, regression and recurrence in a switchable MYC-driven murine breast cancer model. Serial H MRI and hyperpolarized [1-C]pyruvate metabolic imaging were used to investigate the changes in tumor volume and glycolytic metabolism over time during the multistage tumorigenesis. We show that acute de-induction of MYC expression in established tumors results in rapid tumor regression and significantly reduced glycolytic metabolism as measured by pyruvate-to-lactate conversion. Moreover, cancer recurrences occurring at the tumor sites independently of MYC expression were observed to accompany markedly increased lactate production.

The purpose of this research is to estimate sensitivity maps when imaging X-nuclei that may not have a significant presence throughout the field of view. We propose to estimate the coil's sensitivities by solving a least-squares problem where each row corresponds to an individual estimate of the sensitivity for a given voxel. Multiple estimates come from the multiple bins of the spectrum with spectroscopy, multiple times with dynamic imaging, or multiple frequencies when utilizing spectral excitation.

Purpose: Colorectal cancer, a leading cause of death in the Western world, is increasingly affecting younger populations. The Warburg effect, characterized by enhanced lactate production, is a hallmark of this cancer type. Although F-FDG PET-CT is commonly used for diagnosis, MRI offers higher spatial and chemical resolution without the drawbacks of radiation.
