Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging for hypoxia mapping and potential for brachytherapy targeting

Background and purpose: Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) may be used to visualize tumor hypoxia, and was in this work explored in treatment planning of hypoxia-guided brachytherapy of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Materials and methods: Pharmaco...
