We present an optical imaging modality that allows for the monitoring and evaluation of drug delivery and release through disulfide bond reduction inside a tumor in vivo for the first time.
Most importantly, MRI is the only imaging modality that can provide quantitative and high spatial resolution real time monitoring of the temperature changes (and hence thermal dose) evolution in the heated area.
Its initial use in a limited number of malignancies is now being expanded and it may become the standard and possibly the single imaging modality that will be used to detect, stage cancer and monitor its response to therapy.
Fluorescence diffuse optical tomography (fDOT) is a relatively new optical imaging modality that uses fluorescent markers that accumulate in specific regions, to monitor cellular and subcellular functional activity.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging modality that has revolutionised the way a myriad of ocular conditions are now diagnosed and monitored.
It is, she added, "yet another therapeutic modality that can be added to regular care".
