[Gd-DTPA-supported magnetic resonance tomographic perfusion follow-up of shockwave-treated tumors].
The signal characteristics of 14 shockwave-treated and 14 solid control tumors were studied before and after injection of Gd-DTPA in an animal model. T1-weighted images of shockwave-treated tumors documented no significant signal intensity increase after contrast media injection in comparison with the untreated control tumors. The reduction of perfusion in shockwave-treated tumors can be documented in vivo by the signal intensity changes of the tumors after contrast media injection.
