MRI Reveals Tumor Patterns

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SAN DIEGO, Calif., March 26, 2008 -- A noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method has the potential to determine how tumors will respond to treatments based on their specific molecular properties. "For the first time, we have shown that the activity of specific molecular programs in these tumors can be determined based on MRI scans alone," said Michael Kuo, MD, assistant professor of interventional radiology at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine. "We were also able to link the MRI with a group of genes that appear to be involved in tumor cell invasion -- a phenotype associated with a reduced...Read full article

    magnetic resonance imaging
    An imaging technique used in radiology that is based on the principles of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to produce high-quality images of the inside of the human body by imaging the nuclei of atoms within the body.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
