Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) • Technique where enhancement of a tissue or organ is continuously monitored using MRI after bolus IV contrast medium • Low molecular weight contrast media (<1 kDa) • Diffuse into extravascular-extracellular space (does not cross cell membranes) • Experiment lasts a few minutes 7 minutes Haemangiopericytoma Data courtesy of David Collins and Ian Judson, Institute of cancer Research, London
T2*W DCE-MRI of Mixed Mullerian Tumour Typical acquisition 1-2 mins
T1W DCE-MRI of Mixed Mullerian Tumour Typical acquisition 5-8 mins
Evaluation of signal enhancement during DCE-MRI • Qualitative - shape of signal intensity (SI) data curve • Semi-quantitative - indices that describe one or more parts of SI or [Gd] curves • Upslope gradient, max amplitude, washout rate or area under curve at a fixed time point • True quantitative - indices from contrast medium concentration changes using pharmacokinetic modelling
kep(min-1) = 0.5 kep(min-1) = 8.9 kep(min-1) = 3.4 Patterns of enhancement on T1W DCE-MRI and histological correlates Type I (semi-necrotic with reactive changes) Type II (viable tumour) Type III (rapidly proliferating tumour edge) (Taylor and Reddick, Adv Drug Del Rev, 2000)
Pharmacokinetic modelling of T1W DCE-MRI data • Transfer constant (Ktrans) • Extracellular leakage space (ve) • Rate constant (kep) Not today Modified from Tofts 1995
Quantitative analysis with pharmacokinetic modelling • Advantages • Whole curve shape is analysed • Biologically relevant physiological parameters • Independent of scanner strength, manufacturer and imaging routines • Enables valid comparisons of serial measurements and data exchange between different imaging centres • Disadvantages • Data acquisition and analysis is more complex • Lack of commercial software for analysis • Models may not fit the data observed
Clinical indications for DCE-MRI in patients with musculoskeletal lesions • To improve characterisation of lesions* • Monitoring response to treatment • Conventional treatments (chemotherapy/physical treatments) • Novel biological treatments including antiangiogenic/vascular targeting drugs • Assess activity of residual disease after definitive treatment *Ma LD, et al.

Importance of predicting early tumour response to chemotherapy • If pathological response can be reliably predicted after a few cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy • Treatment regimen could be adjusted (early surgery, cryotherapy, isolated limb perfusion etc) • Pathological response rates may be improved • Changing treatment could increase expense and exposes patients to greater toxicity There is very little objective data that DCE-MRI can predict responses early after stating neoadjuvant chemotherapy

Conclusions • Dynamic MRI provides unique information on the vascular characteristics of tumours • DCE-MRI can predict extent of histological response to chemotherapy in patients with osteosarcomas/Ewing tumours • Intriguingly, DCE-MRI may inform on drug access (? predict responsiveness) and patient prognosis • Acts as a biomarker that provides pharmacodynamic (PD) information in early trials of antivascular drug and should be used for evaluating combination therapies in sarcomas Dynamic MR imaging of tumor perfusion: approaches and biomedical challenges.
