Educational Session: Multiparametric MR for Cancer
Skill Level: Basic to Intermediate
Organizers: Guanshu Liu, Ph.D. & Mark D. Pagel, Ph.D.
Tuesday 10 May 2016

Overview
MRI of cancer now involves many different sequence and protocol options.
This session will discuss diffusion, perfusion and spectroscopy as
multiparametric options. In addition, it will discuss the potential of
combining multiple methods in one paradigm to improve tumour detection
and monitoring.
Target Audience
This will benefit PhD and MD's who are interested in novel MRI methods
for detection and monitoring of cancer.
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Understand the potential of
diffusion MRI for detection and monitoring of cancer;
- Understand the potential of
spectroscopy for detection and monitoring of cancer;
- Understand the potential of
perfusion MRI for detection and monitoring of cancer; and
- Understand the options for
using a multiparametric analysis to identify and monitor cancer.

Tumor Diagnosis with MR Spectroscopy. 
Arend Heerschap1
1Radiology, Radboud University Nijmegen,
Nijmegen, Netherlands
This lecture provides a general introduction in the
possibilities for diagnosis of tumors with MR
spectroscopy. It focuses on the application of the 1H
nucleus for MR spectroscopy and briefly discusses
technical considerations for performing 1H MRS in the
clinic. The major two topics being addressed are 1H MRS
of brain tumors and prostate cancer. The lecture then
concludes with some general remarks about current status
and future prospects of clinical MR spectroscopy.

MRS - Response to Therapy
Tone Frost Bathen1
1Norwegian University of Science and
Technology (NTNU)
Altered metabolism
is an emerging hallmark of cancer, and is increasingly
recognized as a potential target for treatment, and also
as a source for novel biomarkers within diagnosis,
treatment stratification, and prediction of treatment
response. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy can be used to
measure metabolites in
vivo as
well as ex
vivo in
biofluids, cell extracts and intact tissue specimens.
This lecture will give an update on the current status
on the use of in
vivo MRS
in clinical trials of response to cancer therapy, and
further discuss applications of ex
vivo MRS
as a complementary tool to this.
