Introduction:MultiparametricMRI
Precise and early assessment of treatment response is critical aerlocoregionaltherapy.Inpatientswithunresectabletumors, magneticresonanceimaging(MRI)representsanimportanttool forposttreatmentfollow-up.Itsadvantages includetheabsence ofionizingradiationandasophisticatedrepertoireofanatomic, functional,andmolecularimaging techniques.Multiparametric MRIcombinesseveralofthesetechniquesin ordertooptimize tumorcharacterizationandenablesuperiorassessmentoftreat­ment response. e goal of multiparametric MRI is to permit elucidation of a “tumor-imaging phenotype” by maximally exploitingthesetechniques.1etumor-imagingphenotypemay assistinpredictingandassessingresponsetoavarietyofantican­certherapies.Posttreatmentimaging parameterssuchasaltera­tionsincontrastenhancementandapparentdiusioncoecient (ADC)valuesmayserveastreatmentresponsebiomarkers.
Widespreadreliance on imagingbiomarkersoftreatment responsedemandsacertaindegreeofscienticrigor.eideal imagingbiomarkermustsatisfyatleastfourcriteria.First,it must permit early assessment of treatment response, allow­ingtimelymodicationoftreatmentregimensandpreventing unnecessarytoxicitytopatients.Second,itmustenablerepro­ducible quantications of treatment response. is presup­posesaclearappraisalofmeasurementerrorsuchthatchance variation can be reliably distinguished from true response. ird,itmustbecapableofcontendingwithtumorheteroge­neity.Tumorsrepresentintrinsicallycomplexandheterogene­ous ecosystems, a fact reected in their treatment response. Variabledegrees of posttreatmentnecrosismay be seen in a singletumor. Targetedretreatmentoftumorsdepends onthe imagingmodality’sabilitytorepresentthisvariabilitywithhigh delity.Fourth,itmustbeable to predict not only surrogate endpoints,butalsosurvival.Surrogateendpointsincludealter­ationsinlesioncharacteristicsovertime,betheseanatomicor functional.eoptimalendpoint,however,ispatientsurvival.
