Tracer System Parameters Measured Results Reference
Iopamidol (Isovue) Rectal tumors Perfusion and mean transit time Decreased perfusion and increased mean transit time post-treatment; high perfusion index and short MTT index poor response to therapy. [80]
Iomeron (Iomeprol) Oropharyngeal and oral tumors Permeability, blood flow, volume and mean transit time All parameters elevated in tumors compared to normal tissue except for low mean transit times; differentiation between primary and recurrent tumors based on blood flow [81]
Iodinated contrast agent Head and neck tumors Permeability, blood flow, blood volume and mean transit time All parameters were significantly different in tumors compared to normal tissue [82]
Iopamidol (Isovue 300) Hepatic metastases Perfusion Perfusion elevated in metastases compared to contralateral tissue; significant correlation between survival and perfusion of metastasis (higher perfusion, increased survival) [83]
Iopamidol (Isovue 300) Lymphoma Perfusion and permeability Perfusion correlated well with grade and activity but permeability did not reliably differentiate between grade or activity [84]
Iobitridol (Xenetix 30) Non-small cell lung cancer Perfusion, permeability and blood volume Reproducibility of whole tumor perfusion both parameters was acceptable [85]
Iopamidol (Niopam 340) Colorectal tumors Blood volume, blood flow, mean transit time and permeability Correlation coefficients for interobserver variability and intraobserver variability indicated excellent agreement in both cases [86]
Iopamidol (Niopam 340) Colorectal tumors Perfusion Early changes in perfusion of tumors responding to bevacizumab demonstrated [88]
Iodinated contrast agent Advanced solid tumors refractory to therapy Blood flow, blood volume, permeability and mean transit time Phase I dose-escalation study of MEDI-522; only mean transit time demonstrated significant changes post- treatment [89]
