Anatomical, diffusion-weighted and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI of orthotopic SF188luc tumors treated with cediranib.
(A) T2-weighted MRI images, and associated parametric apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and Ktrans maps, from representative orthotopic SF188luc pediatric glioblastomas prior to and following 48 hours treatment with either vehicle or cediranib, as indicated. (B) Quantification of the change in tumor volume over the 48 h treatment period, and of ADC and Ktrans prior to, and following, treatment with vehicle (n = 5) or cediranib (n = 6). (C) Frequency distributions of all tumor ADC and Ktrans voxels. Distributions were divided into 5 equally sized bins for each dataset, using 0–300, 300–600, 600–900, 900–1200, 1200–1500×10−6mm2sec−1 for ADC and 0–02, 0.2–0.4, 0.4–0.6, 0.6–0.8, 0.8–0.1 min−1 for Ktrans. ##P < .01, #P < .05, unpaired Student's t test between vehicle and cediranib-treated cohorts. *P < .05, paired Student's t test.
