摘要：
A scanning apparatus, is used to effect multiple images of a tumor in which acontrast agent has been localized as a detectable marker over a selected timeto map thechange in the imaged marker. The rate of change in the imaged marker and/orcontrastintensity of the dyed tissues is used to assess tumor aggressiveness and as anearlypredictor of response to cancer therapy. In particular, following the markingof tumor orcancerous tissues by the initial localization of an imageable contrast agent,the rate ofchange in the volume and/or area of the imaged marker is used to provide anindication oftumor interstitial fluid pressure (TIFP).
