Magnetic resonance, pathology and physiology of the BA1112 rhabdomyosarcoma in vivo. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • We studied histology, findings on H-1 magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and correlations of P-31 MR spectroscopy with microelectrode pH and pO2 measurements in the BA1112 rhabdomyosarcoma in WAG/Rij/Y rats. Intratumoral hemorrhage was a prominent feature on MR images and pathologic specimens. Eosinophilic necrosis could be seen microscopically but was not discernible on images. The peaks seen on P-31 MR spectra were similar to those reported in other tumors. The intratumoral pH was neutral despite low pO2 values and P-31 MR evidence for impaired metabolic status.
