title: Imaging approaches for monitoring chemotherapy.
abstract: Positron emission tomography (PET) and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) are two, often complementary, imaging modalities of great potential use for monitoring tumor therapy. They permit physiologic measures such as metabolism, perfusion, small vessel permeability and others to be made. Such measures might prove valuable supplements to the usual morphologic measures now commonly used. We give here an overview of some of the salient features of both methodologies for making such physiologic measurements.:
