Figure 6.
Coronal MR images at 1, 2, and 4 weeks (left to right) after transplantation. The SPIO-labeled cell hypointensity induces a blooming effect, masking an initial visualization of tumor growth at the 1- and 2-week time points. By week 4, the tumor has considerably expanded, with fragmented pockets of the originally hypointense cells located within the center.
