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 |
