DCE-MRI (Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI)

Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) is a specialized imaging technique used to observe blood flow and tissue characteristics in the body, particularly useful for detecting tumors. During the procedure, a contrast agent (usually a dye) is injected into a vein. The MRI scans are taken at various time points to see how the contrast spreads and is absorbed by tissues. This helps doctors assess how well blood is flowing into different areas, providing valuable information about the health of tissues, tumors, and potential diseases, particularly in oncology.
