Development and Application of AcidoCEST MRI for Evaluating Tumor Acidosis in Pre-Clinical Cancer Models

Tumor acidosis is an important biomarker in cancer. We have developed a noninvasive imaging method, termed acidosis Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (acidoCEST) MRI to measure extracellular pH (pHe) in the tumor microenvironment. Chapter 1 introduces the importance of measuring tumor acidosis a...
