Gliomas: Motexafin Gadolinium-enhanced Molecular MR Imaging and Optical Imaging for Potential Intraoperative Delineation of Tumor Margins

摘要

In this preclinical study, the authors investigated the use of simultaneous motexafin gadolinium–based fluorescent optical imaging and MR imaging to outline the histologic margins of C6 gliomas in rats and to determine the optimal time window to visualize the tumors.
