Summary of Studies Evaluating DCE and/or Diffusion-weighted MR Imaging for Therapeutic Response and Clinical Outcome in NSCLC

Note.—ADC = apparent diffusion coefficient, HR = hazard ratio, NR = not reported, k_ep is to and from plasma and the extravascular extracellular space, K^trans = the transendothelial transfer constant, V_e = extravascular extracellular space volume densities.

^*Indicates the group with longer survival.

^†The cutoff value was the median value obtained in the study group.

^‡The studies also evaluated the association between FDG PET and outcome (see Table 4).

^§Included only nonsquamous histology.

^||Nonsignificant differences were associated with volume transfer constant and extravascular extracellular space volume densities (Ve)_.

^#The study also demonstrated significant association between baseline maximum SUV and survival (P < .05 for PFS and OS).
