Gated External-beam Radiotherapy of Isolated Tumors in the Lung and Liver
This project uses magnetic resonance imaging of liver and lung tumors in patients to establish both the range of motion
of these tumors during the respiratory cycle, and determine the reproducibility of tumor position over multiple end-expiration
breath-holds. This information will be used to develop analysis tools and motion phantoms to test feasibility of performing
gated radiotherapy of internal tumors, obtain physiologic measurements of respiratory-derived tumor motion, and establish
the performance characteristics required of a real-time gating system.

Predicting Brain Tumor Recurrence from MR Spectroscopy and Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) treatment plans of aggressive brain tumors typically incorporate a uniform 2 cm margin to account for
unobserved, microscopic dispersal of cancer cells, yet recurrent tumors often occur. Our hypothesis is that brain cancer cells spread
preferentially via a diffusion-like process that can be predicted by magnetic resonance (MR) diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) and
computational models of cell migration. We will also test whether MRS can be used to identify existing microinfiltration of cancer.
The goal is to apply both MRS amd DTI to develop appropriate non-symmetric margins for radiation treatment of malignant brain
tumors. The aims of this project are to gather prospective MRS/DTI data and patient follow-up MRI’s to access the predictive power
of MRS/DTI for identifying the locations of subsequent tumor recurrence. The second aim is to determine the efficacy of appropriately
altering SRT treatment margins in the clinic.

MR spectroscopic imaging of brain cancer progression
The main objective of this proposal is to further develop this technology, with the focus on brain cancer progression and treatment planning. The specific aims are (a) to develop a joint reconstruction and quantification algorithm, thus further improving robustness and reducing artifacts (b) to optimize the multi-parametric sequence to enhance the sensitivity to metabolites crucial in brain cancer (c) to study the brain cancer progression and effectiveness of therapy.

Monitoring of Tumor Recurrence: DTI vs Histology
Our hypothesis is that brain cancer cells spread preferentially via a diffusion-like process that can be predicted by magnetic
resonance (MR) diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) and computational models of cell migration. This pilot proposal will use a native
rat infiltrative glioma cell line to validate the role of DTI in predicting tumor spread in the in-vivo rat brain and to optimize the
computational model of cell migration for application to human subjects. RCBI provides 10 scan sessions and RF coil development.

Modeling Brain Cancer Dispersion for SRT using MR Diffusion Weighted Imaging
Our hypothesis is that brain cancer cells spread preferentially via a diffusion-like process that can be predicted by magnetic

procurement, care and engraftment of a native rat infiltrative glioma cell line to optimize our computational model of cell migration.
