| Hyperenhancing Prostate Cancer |
![]() |
| Some prostate cancers exhibit intense hyperenhancement due to angiogenesis. This color map depicts a hyperenhancing focus within a human prostate corresponding to a prostate cancer. |
| Dynamic Enhancement within a breast cancer |
![]() |
| This is a clinical image from a patient with a vascular breast cancer. The time signal curve demonstrates the rapid enhancement within the tumor. |
| High resolution 3T image of a mouse |
![]() |
| This is a coronal view through a mouse taken within a human MRI unit using a specially designed high resolution mouse coil. |
| Sentinel Lymph Node Imaging in Animal Breast Cancer Model |
![]() |
| This image demonstrates the lymphatic channels and sentinel nodes draining a breast tumor implanted in a mouse mammary pad. The agent used is a gadolinium labeled dendrimer nanoparticle developed in the MIP |
| Implanted colon cancer xenograft in a mouse |
![]() |
| This image is typical of images obtained using the 4.7T Bruker magnet after the administration of Gadolinium chelate contrast intravenously. Note the heterogeneous enhancement within the tumor and the fluid-fluid level within the bladder. |
| Peritoneal metastases by optical molecular imaging |
| This is an image of ovarian cancer metastases in the peritoneum of a mouse. An optical proble that targets ovarian cancer (GSA-RhodamineGreen) demonstrates very tiny lesions. This type of probe may assist surgeons in debulking Stage III Ovarian cancer |
