Cancer Detection and Quantification of Treatment Response Using Diffusion-Weighted MRI

Editorial for “Detection of Treatment Response in Triple‐Negative Breast Tumors to Paclitaxel Using MRI Cell Size Imaging”

“…Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is linked to cell size and density and might help detect changes on a cellular level early. 2,3 Unfortunately, DWI is not yet an established method for monitoring tumor therapy. Past clinical studies frequently lacked the required number of patients for an evidenceproven benefit.…”

“…Besides standard clinical testing, for example, signs of inflammation or lymphocyte counts, radiology can provide important information. Diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) is linked to cell size and density and might help detect changes on a cellular level early 2,3 …”
