dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI)

Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) is an imaging technique that tracks how a special dye, called a contrast agent, moves through tissues over time. After injecting the contrast into the bloodstream, the MRI captures rapid images to observe how quickly and extensively the dye infiltrates areas, providing information about tissue blood flow, vessel permeability, and overall vascular health. This method helps doctors better understand abnormal tissue behavior, such as in tumors or inflammation, aiding in diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring response to therapy.
