Abstract
Purpose: Tumor hypoxia is associated with both poor treatment response and poor long-term prognosis. With the advent of new hypoxia-activated cytotoxic prodrugs, there is significant interest in developing non-invasive hypoxia imaging methods, which may ultimately guide patient selection for clinical treatment. In this preliminary study, we aimed to optimize MR and PET acquisition techniques in order to compare the ability of FMISO PET, Cu-ATSM PET, and quantitative BOLD (qBOLD) MRI to measure hypoxic tumor fraction in a known hypoxic tumor model (3). FMISO and Cu-ATSM PET tracers are known to target tumor hypoxia (1), while the qBOLD method was recently developed to map local oxygen saturation (LSO2) (2).
