Revealing liver micrometastases in vivo using ultra-high definition MRI
Over 90% of cancer-related deaths are caused by metastases. A major obstacle for accurate patient stratification, development of new treatments against metastases and thorough biological understanding is our inability to detect early-stage micrometastases (µMets). The liver is one of the first and most common sites for metastases, particularly in gastrointestinal tract tumours. Thus, early detection of liver metastases is an urgent need in cancer diagnosis for many patients. Present image-based diagnostic methods, including state-of-the-art Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), cannot detect µMets due to major limitations in current image contrast and resolution, as well as a lack of…
