Open access to the patient

Radiation exposure
Many procedures are best done utilizing CT or uoroscopy
as the guidance modality. e inherent limitation of these
modalitiesisthe radiationexposuretophysicianandpatient,
as observed during CT uoroscopy, because of continuous
exposure at a single anatomic location. On the other hand,
excessivelylowradiation doses lead to inferior image quality

In2000andrevisedin2009,theRECISTcriteriamadeuse

120
However, treatment strategies have changed over

inpatientsundergoingablative therapy(includingarbitrarily
determined cuto values to categorize tumor response and

Although these criteria have been useful in
the systemic chemotherapy setting, they may not be useful
when assessing image-guided interventions. Aer successful

Introduction:MultiparametricMRI
Precise and early assessment of treatment response is critical
aerlocoregionaltherapy.Inpatientswithunresectabletumors,
magneticresonanceimaging(MRI)representsanimportanttool
forposttreatmentfollow-up.Itsadvantages includetheabsence
ofionizingradiationandasophisticatedrepertoireofanatomic,
functional,andmolecularimaging techniques.Multiparametric
MRIcombinesseveralofthesetechniquesin ordertooptimize
tumorcharacterizationandenablesuperiorassessmentoftreatment response. e goal of multiparametric MRI is to permit
elucidation of a “tumor-imaging phenotype” by maximally
exploitingthesetechniques.1etumor-imagingphenotypemay

Widespreadreliance on imagingbiomarkersoftreatment

Cross-sectionalassessmentoftreatmentresponsehastraditionallybeenbasedonanatomicimagingcriteria.3Stratication
of patients into response categorieshas relied on changesin
tumor size, with measurements obtained in the axial plane.
elimitationsoftheseanatomiccriteriahaveencouragedthe
use of functional and molecular imaging biomarkers in the
responseassessment. e repertoireof functional MRI techniquesincludes:diusion-weightedMRI(DW-MRI),dynamic
anddual-phasecontrast-enhancedMRI(DCE-andCE-MRI),
MRIspectroscopy,andpositronemissiontomography(PET)
MRI.4 Together,anatomic and functional techniques provide
a more comprehensive assessment of treatment response.

Inthistechniquefunctionalimagingtechniquesareappliedin

is chapter aims to introduce the reader to multiparametricMRI as a means of assessing treatmentresponseaer
transarterial chemoemboliztion (TACE) in patients with
liver tumors. In our discussion of functional techniques, we
will focus on the two most commonly employed techniques
forresponseassessment,namely DW-MRIandCE-MRI.We

Anatomic biomarkers
Anatomic metrics such as alterations in size are the traditionalmeansofassessingtreatmentresponseaerlocoregional
therapy. In 1979, the World Health Organization (WHO)
denedobjectivecriteriafortumorresponsein anattemptto
standardize reporting in solid tumors. is response assessmentwasbasedontwo-dimensionalmeasurementsobtained
intheaxial plane.ese measurementswerethenutilizedto
stratifypatientsintofourcategories:completeresponse,partial
response,stabledisease, and progressionof disease. A major
limitationoftheWHOcriteriawaswidevariabilityinselection
