Journal ArticleDOI
Expansion of myeloid immune suppressor Gr+CD11b+ cells in tumor-bearing host directly promotes tumor angiogenesis
Li Yang,Laura Debusk,Koari Fukuda,Barbara Fingleton,Brenda Green-Jarvis,Yu Shyr,Lynn M. Matrisian,David P. Carbone,P. Charles Lin +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that Gr+CD11b+ cells of immune origin induced by tumors directly contribute to tumor growth and vascularization by producing MMP9 and differentiating into ECs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative pharmacokinetic analysis of DCE-MRI data without an arterial input function: a reference region model
Thomas E. Yankeelov,Jeffrey J. Luci,Martin Lepage,Rui Li,Laura Debusk,P. Charles Lin,Ronald R. Price,John C. Gore +7 more
TL;DR: A method is presented that compares the tissues of interest (TOI) curve shape to that of a reference region (RR), thereby eliminating the need for direct AIF measurement and allowing for quantitative assessment of tissue properties without having to obtain high temporal resolution images to characterize an AIF.
Original contributions Quantitative pharmacokinetic analysis of DCE-MRI data without an arterial input function: a reference region model
Thomas E. Yankeelov,Jeffrey J. Luci,Martin Lepage,Rui Li,Laura Debusk,P. Charles Lin,Ronald R. Price,John C. Gore +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method is presented that compares the tissues of interest (TOI) curve shape to that of a reference region (RR), thereby eliminating the need for direct arterial input function measurement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Repeatability of a reference region model for analysis of murine DCE-MRI data at 7T.
Thomas E. Yankeelov,Laura Debusk,Dean Billheimer,Jeffrey J. Luci,P. Charles Lin,Ronald R. Price,John C. Gore +6 more
TL;DR: To test the repeatability of a reference region (RR) model for the analysis of dynamic contrast‐enhanced MRI (DCE‐ MRI) in a mouse model of cancer at high field, a DCE‐MRI study is conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incorporating the effects of transcytolemmal water exchange in a reference region model for DCE-MRI analysis: Theory, simulations, and experimental results
TL;DR: A theory for DCE‐MRI reference region models which accounts for water exchange is presented, evaluated in simulations, and applied in tumor‐bearing mice, showing that the assumption of fast exchange can underestimate Ktrans and ve by up to 82% and 46%, respectively.
