### Diffusion-weighted MRI-guided needle biopsies permit quantitative tumor heterogeneity assessment and cell load estimation

Abstract:

Quantitative information on tumor heterogeneity and cell load could assist in designing effective and refined personalized treatment strategies. It was recently shown by us that such information can be inferred from the diffusion parameter D derived from the diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) if a relation between D and cell density can be established. However, such relation cannot a priori be assumed to be constant for all patients and tumor types. Hence to assist in clinical decisions in palliati...
