Validation of preclinical multiparametric imaging for prediction of necrosis in hepatocellular carcinoma after embolization

Abstract

DWI and DCE-MRI with the respective parameters ADC (day 3) and v(e) (day 1) were identified as the most promising imaging techniques for the prediction of necrosis. This study validates a preclinical platform allowing for the improved tumor stratification after TAE and thus the testing of novel combinatorial therapy approaches in HCC
