Abstract
The DSL-6A/C1 murine pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumor model was established in Lewis rats and characterized through a comprehensive multiparametric analysis to compare it to other preclinical tumor models and explore potential diagnostic and therapeutical targets. DSL-6A/C1 tumors were histologically analyzed to elucidate PDAC features. The tumor microenvironment was studied for immune cell prevalence. Multiparametric MRI and PET imaging were utilized to characterize tumors, and 68Ga-FAPI-46-targeting cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), were used to validate the histological findings. The histology confirmed typical PDAC characteristics, such as malformed pancreatic ductal malignant cells and CAFs. Distinct immune landscapes were identified, revealing an increased presence of CD8+ T cells and a decreased CD4+ T cell fraction within the tumor microenvironment. PET imaging with 68Ga-FAPI tracers exhibited strong tracer uptake in tumor tissues. The MRI parameters indicated increasing intralesional necrosis over time and elevated contrast media uptake in vital tumor areas. We have demonstrated that the DSL-6A/C1 tumor model, particularly due to its high tumorigenicity, tumor size, and 68Ga-FAPI-46 sensitivity, is a suitable alternative to established small animal models for many forms of preclinical analyses and therapeutic studies of PDAC.

Abstract
Fluorine MRI is finding wider acceptance in theranostics applications where imaging of 19 F hotspots of fluorinated contrast material is central. The essence of such applications is to capture ghosting-artifact-free images of the inherently low MR response under clinically viable conditions. To serve this purpose, this work introduces the balanced spiral spectroscopic imaging (BaSSI) sequence, which is implemented on a 3.0 T clinical scanner and is capable of generating 19 F hotspot images in an efficient manner. The sequence utilizes an all-phase-encoded pseudo-spiral k-space trajectory, enabling the acquisition of broadband (80 ppm) fluorine spectra free from chemical shift ghosting. BaSSI can acquire a 64 × 64 image with 1 mm × 1 mm voxels in just 14 s, significantly outperforming typical MRSI sequences used in 1 H or 31 P imaging. The study employed in silico characterization to verify essential design choices such as the excitation pulse, as well as to identify the boundaries of the parameter space explored for optimization. BaSSI's performance was further benchmarked against the 3D ultrashort-echo-time balanced steady-state free precession (3D UTE BSSFP) sequence, a well established method used in 19 F MRI, in vitro. Both sequences underwent extensive optimization through exploration of a wide parameter space on a small phantom containing 10 μL of non-diluted bulk perfluorooctylbromide (PFOB) prior to comparative experiments. Subsequent to optimization, BaSSI and 3D UTE BSSFP were employed to capture images of small non-diluted bulk PFOB samples (0.10 and 0.05 μL), with variations in the number of signal averages, and thus the total scan time, in order to assess the detection sensitivities of the sequences. In these experiments, the detection sensitivity was evaluated using the Rose criterion (Rc ), which provides a quantitative metric for assessing object visibility. The study further demonstrated BaSSI's utility as a (pre)clinical tool through postmortem imaging of polymer microspheres filled with PFOB in a BALB/c mouse. Anatomic localization of 19 F hotspots was achieved by denoising raw data obtained with BaSSI using a filter based on the Rose criterion. These data were then successfully registered to 1 H anatomical images. BaSSI demonstrated superior detection sensitivity in the benchmarking analysis, achieving Rc values approximately twice as high as those obtained with the 3D UTE BSSFP method. The technique successfully facilitated imaging and precise localization of 19 F hotspots in postmortem experiments. However, it is important to highlight that imaging 10 mM PFOB in small mice postmortem, utilizing a 48 × 48 × 48 3D scan, demanded a substantial scan time of 1 h and 45 min. Further studies will explore accelerated imaging techniques, such as compressed sensing, to enhance BaSSI's clinical utility.

Abstract
Percutaneous drainage is a first-line therapy for abscesses and other fluid collections. However, experimental data on the viscosity of body fluids are scarce. This study analyses the apparent viscosity of serous, purulent and biliary fluids to provide reference data for the evaluation of drainage catheters. Serous, purulent and biliary fluid samples were collected during routine drainage procedures. In a first setup, the apparent kinematic viscosity of 50 fluid samples was measured using an Ubbelohde viscometer. In a second setup, the apparent dynamic viscosity of 20 fluid samples obtained during CT-guided percutaneous drainage was measured using an in-house designed capillary extrusion experiment. The median apparent kinematic viscosity was 0.96 mm2/s (IQR 0.90-1.15 mm2/s) for serous samples, 0.98 mm2/s (IQR 0.97-0.99 mm2/s) for purulent samples and 2.77 mm2/s (IQR 1.75-3.70 mm2/s) for biliary samples. The median apparent dynamic viscosity was 1.63 mPa*s (IQR 1.27-2.09 mPa*s) for serous samples, 2.45 mPa*s (IQR 1.69-3.22 mPa*s) for purulent samples and 3.50 mPa*s (IQR 2.81-3.90 mPa*s) for biliary samples (all differences p < 0.01). Relative to water, dynamic viscosities were increased by a factor of 1.36 for serous fluids, 2.26 for purulent fluids, and 4.03 for biliary fluids. Serous fluids have apparent viscosities similar to water, but biliary and purulent fluids are more viscous. These data can be used as a reference when selecting the drainage catheter size, with 8F catheters being appropriate for most percutaneous drainage cases.

Abstract
Purpose: A crucial aspect of quality assurance in thermal therapy is periodic demonstration of the heating performance of the device. Existing methods estimate the specific absorption rate (SAR) from the temperature rise after a short power pulse, which yields a biased estimate as thermal diffusion broadens the apparent SAR pattern. To obtain an unbiased estimate, we propose a robust frequency-domain method that simultaneously identifies the SAR as well as the thermal dynamics.Methods: We propose a method consisting of periodic modulation of the FUS power while recording the response with MR thermometry (MRT). This approach enables unbiased measurements of spatial Fourier coefficients that encode the thermal response. These coefficients are substituted in a generic thermal model to simultaneously estimate the SAR, diffusivity, and damping. The method was tested using a cylindrical phantom and a 3 T clinical MR-HIFU system. Three scenarios with varying modulation strategies are chosen to challenge the method. The results are compared to the well-known power pulse technique.Results: The thermal diffusivity is estimated at 0.151 mm2s-1 with a standard deviation of 0.01 mm2s-1 between six experiments. The SAR estimates are consistent between all experiments and show an excellent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) compared to the well established power pulse method. The frequency-domain method proved to be insensitive to B0-drift and non steady-state initial temperature distributions.Conclusion: The proposed frequency-domain estimation method shows a high SNR and provided reproducible estimates of the SAR and the corresponding thermal diffusivity. The findings suggest that frequency-domain tools can be highly effective at estimating the SAR from (biased) MRT data acquired during periodic power modulation.

Abstract
Desmoid tumors are a rare form of cancer, which show locally aggressive invasion of surrounding tissues and may occur anywhere in the body. Treatment options comprise conservative watch and wait strategies as tumors may show spontaneous regression as well as surgical resection, radiation therapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), chemotherapy, or local thermoablative approaches for progressive disease. The latter comprises cryotherapy, radiofrequency, microwave ablation, or thermal ablation with high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) as the only entirely non-invasive option. This report presents a case where a desmoid tumor at the left dorsal humerus was 2 times surgically resected and, after recurrence, thermally ablated with HIFU under magnetic resonance image-guidance (MR-HIFU). In our report, we analyze tumor volume and/or pain score during standard of care (2 years) and after HIFU treatment over a 4-year follow-up period. Results showed MR-HIFU treatment led to complete tumor remission and pain response.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) is an innovative treatment for patients with painful bone metastases. The adoption of MR-HIFU will be influenced by several factors beyond its effectiveness. To identify contextual factors affecting the adoption of MR-HIFU, we conducted a group concept mapping (GCM) study in four European countries. The GCM was conducted in two phases. First, the participants brainstormed statements guided by the focus prompt "One factor that may influence the uptake of MR-HIFU in clinical practice is...". Second, the participants sorted statements into categories and rated the statements according to their importance and changeability. To generate a concept map, multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis were conducted, and average ratings for each (cluster of) factors were calculated. Forty-five participants contributed to phase I and/or II (56% overall participation rate). The resulting concept map comprises 49 factors, organized in 12 clusters: "competitive treatments", "physicians' attitudes", "alignment of resources", "logistics and workflow", "technical disadvantages", "radiotherapy as first-line therapy", "aggregating knowledge and improving awareness", "clinical effectiveness", "patients' preferences", "reimbursement", "cost-effectiveness" and "hospital costs". The factors identified echo those from the literature, but their relevance and interrelationship are case-specific. Besides evidence on clinical effectiveness, contextual factors from 10 other clusters should be addressed to support adoption of MR-HIFU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP), caused by bone metastases, is a common complication of cancer and strongly impairs quality of life (QoL). External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) is the current standard of care for treatment of CIBP. However, approximately 45% of patients have no adequate pain response after EBRT. Magnetic resonance image-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) may improve pain palliation in this patient population. The main objective of this trial was to compare MR-HIFU, EBRT, and MR-HIFU + EBRT for the palliative treatment of bone metastases. METHODS/DESIGN The FURTHER trial is an international multicenter, three-armed randomized controlled trial. A total of 216 patients with painful bone metastases will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive EBRT only, MR-HIFU only, or combined treatment with EBRT followed by MR-HIFU. During a follow-up period of 6 months, patients will be contacted at eight time points to retrieve information about their level of pain, QoL, and the occurrence of (serious) adverse events. The primary outcome of the trial is pain response at 14 days after start of treatment. Secondary outcomes include pain response at 14 days after trial enrolment, pain scores (daily until the 21st day and at 4, 6, 12 and 24 weeks), toxicity, adverse events, QoL, and survival.

Abstract
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is the only non-invasive method for percutaneous thermal ablation of tissue, with treatments typically performed either under magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound guidance. Since this method allows efficient heating of bony structures, it has found not only early use in treatment of bone pain, but also in local treatment of malignant bone tumors. This review of 20 years of published studies shows that HIFU is a very efficient method for rapid pain relief, can provide local tumor control and has a very patient-friendly safety profile.

Abstract
Introduction Magnetic Resonance Image-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MR-HIFU) is a non-invasive treatment option for palliative patients with painful bone metastases. Early evidence suggests that MR-HIFU is associated with similar overall treatment response, but more rapid pain palliation compared to external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). This modelling study aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of MR-HIFU as an alternative treatment option for painful bone metastases from the perspective of the German Statutory Health Insurance (SHI). Materials and methods A microsimulation model with lifelong time horizon and one-month cycle length was developed. To calculate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER), strategy A (MR-HIFU as first-line treatment or as retreatment option in case of persistent pain or only partial pain relief after EBRT) was compared to strategy B (EBRT alone) for patients with bone metastases due to breast, prostate, or lung cancer. Input parameters used for the model were extracted from the literature. Results were expressed as EUR per quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and EUR per pain response (i.e., months spent with complete or partial pain response). Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses (PSA) were performed to test the robustness of results, and a value of information analysis was conducted. Results Compared to strategy B, strategy A resulted in additional costs (EUR 399) and benefits (0.02 QALYs and 0.95 months with pain response). In the base case, the resulting ICERs (strategy A vs. strategy B) are EUR 19,845/QALY and EUR 421 per pain response. Offering all patients MR-HIFU as first-line treatment would increase the ICER by 50% (31,048 EUR/QALY). PSA showed that at a (hypothetical) willingness to pay of EUR 20,000/QALY, the probability of MR-HIFU being cost-effective was 52%. The expected value of perfect information (EVPI) for the benefit population in Germany is approximately EUR 190 Mio. Conclusion Although there is considerable uncertainty, the results demonstrate that introducing MR-HIFU as a treatment alternative for painful bone metastases might be cost-effective for the German SHI. The high EVPI indicate that further studies to reduce uncertainty would be worthwhile.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine resource consumption and total costs for providing magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) treatment to a patient with cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP). METHODS We conducted a time-driven activity-based costing (TD-ABC) of MR-HIFU treatments for CIBP from a hospital perspective. A European care-pathway (including a macro-, meso-, and micro-level) was designed to incorporate the care-delivery value chain. Time estimates were obtained from medical records and from prospective direct observations. To calculate the capacity cost rate, data from the controlling department of a German university hospital were allocated to the modules of the care pathway. Best- and worst-case scenarios were calculated by applying lower and upper bounds of time measurements. RESULTS The macro-level care pathway consisted of eight modules (i.e., outpatient consultations, pretreatment imaging, preparation, optimization, sonication, post-treatment, recovery, and anesthesia). The total cost of an MR-HIFU treatment amounted to €5147 per patient. Best- and worst-case scenarios yielded a total cost of €4092 and to €5876. According to cost categories, costs due to equipment accounted for 41% of total costs, followed by costs with personnel (32%), overhead (16%) and materials (11%). CONCLUSION MR-HIFU is an emerging noninvasive treatment for alleviating CIBP, with increasing evidence on treatment efficacy. This costing study can support MR-HIFU reimbursement negotiations and facilitate the adoption of MR-HIFU as first-line treatment for CIBP. The present TD-ABC model creates the opportunity of benchmarking the provision of MR-HIFU to bone tumor.Key pointsMagnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) is an emerging noninvasive treatment modality for alleviating cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP).From a hospital perspective, the total cost of MR-HIFU amounted to €5147 per treatment.This time-driven activity-based costing model creates the opportunity of benchmarking the provision of MR-HIFU to bone tumor.

Abstract
The ability of regulatory T (Treg) cells to migrate into inflammatory sites is reduced in autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The reasons for impaired Treg cell migration remain largely unknown. We performed multiplex human kinase activity arrays to explore possible differences in the post-translational phosphorylation status of kinase related proteins that could account for altered Treg cell migration in RA. Results were verified by migration assays and Western blot analysis of CD4+ T cells from RA patients and from mice with collagen type II induced arthritis. Kinome profiling of CD4+ T cells from RA patients revealed significantly altered post-translational phosphorylation of kinase related proteins, including G-protein-signaling modulator 2 (GPSM2), protein tyrosine kinase 6 (PTK6) and vitronectin precursor (VTNC). These proteins have not been associated with RA until now. We found that GPSM2 expression is reduced in CD4+ T cells from RA patients and is significantly downregulated in experimental autoimmune arthritis following immunization of mice with collagen type II. Interestingly, GPSM2 acts as a promoter of Treg cell migration in healthy individuals. Treatment of RA patients with interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) blocking antibodies restores GPSM2 expression, thereby improving Treg cell migration. Our study highlights the potential of multiplex kinase activity arrays as a tool for the identification of RA-related proteins which could serve as targets for novel treatments.

Abstract
PURPOSE This article will report results from the in-vivo application of a previously published model-predictive control algorithm for MR-HIFU hyperthermia. The purpose of the investigation was to test the controller's in-vivo performance and behavior in the presence of heterogeneous perfusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hyperthermia at 42°C was induced and maintained for up to 30 min in a circular section of a thermometry slice in the biceps femoris of German landrace pigs (n=5) using a commercial MR-HIFU system and a recently developed MPC algorithm. The heating power allocation was correlated with heat sink maps and contrast-enhanced MRI images. The temporal change in perfusion was estimated based on the power required to maintain hyperthermia. RESULTS The controller performed well throughout the treatments with an absolute average tracking error of 0.27 ± 0.15 °C and an average difference of 1.25 ± 0.22 °C between T10 and T90. The MPC algorithm allocates additional heating power to sub-volumes with elevated heat sink effects, which are colocalized with blood vessels visible on contrast-enhanced MRI. The perfusion appeared to have increased by at least a factor of ∼1.86 on average. CONCLUSIONS The MPC controller generates temperature distributions with a narrow spectrum of voxel temperatures inside the target ROI despite the presence of spatiotemporally heterogeneous perfusion due to the rapid thermometry feedback available with MR-HIFU and the flexible allocation of heating power. The visualization of spatiotemporally heterogeneous perfusion presents new research opportunities for the investigation of stimulated perfusion in hypoxic tumor regions.

Abstract
The therapeutic application of heat is very effective in cancer treatment. Both hyperthermia, i.e., heating to 39-45 °C to induce sensitization to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and thermal ablation, where temperatures beyond 50 °C destroy tumor cells directly are frequently applied in the clinic. Achievement of an effective treatment requires high quality heating equipment, precise thermal dosimetry, and adequate quality assurance. Several types of devices, antennas and heating or power delivery systems have been proposed and developed in recent decades. These vary considerably in technique, heating depth, ability to focus, and in the size of the heating focus. Clinically used heating techniques involve electromagnetic and ultrasonic heating, hyperthermic perfusion and conductive heating. Depending on clinical objectives and available technology, thermal therapies can be subdivided into three broad categories: local, locoregional, or whole body heating. Clinically used local heating techniques include interstitial hyperthermia and ablation, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), scanned focused ultrasound (SFUS), electroporation, nanoparticle heating, intraluminal heating and superficial heating. Locoregional heating techniques include phased array systems, capacitive systems and isolated perfusion. Whole body techniques focus on prevention of heat loss supplemented with energy deposition in the body, e.g., by infrared radiation. This review presents an overview of clinical hyperthermia and ablation devices used for local, locoregional, and whole body therapy. Proven and experimental clinical applications of thermal ablation and hyperthermia are listed. Methods for temperature measurement and the role of treatment planning to control treatments are discussed briefly, as well as future perspectives for heating technology for the treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Purpose: Pancreatic cancer is typically diagnosed in a late stage with limited therapeutic options. For those patients, ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (US-HIFU) can improve local control and alleviate pain. However, MRI-guided HIFU (MR-HIFU) has not yet been studied extensively in this context. To facilitate related research and accelerate clinical translation, we report a workflow for the in vivo HIFU ablation of the porcine pancreas under MRI guidance.Materials and methods: The pancreases of five healthy German landrace pigs (35-58 kg) were sonicated using a clinical MR-HIFU system. Acoustic access to the pancreas was supported by a specialized diet and a hydrogel compression device for bowel displacement. Organ motion was suspended using periods of apnea. The size of the resulting thermal lesions was assessed using the thermal threshold- and dose profiles, non-perfused volume, and gross examination. The effect of the compression device on beam path length was assessed using MRI imaging.Results: Eight of ten treatments resulted in clearly visible damage in the target tissue upon gross examination. Five treatments resulted in coagulative necrosis. Good agreement between the four metrics for lesion size and a clear correlation between the delivered energy dose and the resulting lesion size were found. The compression device notably shortened the intra-abdominal beam path.Conclusions: We demonstrated a workflow for HIFU treatment of the porcine pancreas in-vivo under MRI-guidance. This development bears significance for the development of MR-guided HIFU interventions on the pancreas as the pig is the preferred animal model for the translation of pre-clinical research into clinical application.

Abstract
PURPOSE Recent studies have shown rapid accumulation of nanobodies (NBs) in tumors and fast clearance of the unbound fraction, making NBs exceptional tracers for cancer imaging. In this study, we investigate the combination of in vitro imaging of tumor spheroids, in vivo dual-isotope single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and ex vivo autoradiographic analysis of tumors to efficiently, and with few mice, assess the tumor uptake and distribution of different NBs. PROCEDURES The irrelevant NB R2 (16 kDa) and the EGFR-targeted NBs 7D12 (16 kDa) and 7D12-R2 (32 kDa) were investigated. Confocal microscopy was used to study the penetration of the NBs into A431 tumor spheroids over time, using the anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody (mAb) cetuximab (150 kDa) as a reference. Dual-isotope [111In]DOTA-NB/[177Lu]DOTA-NB SPECT was used for longitudinal imaging of multiple tracers in the same animal bearing A431 tumor xenografts. Tumor sections were analyzed using autoradiography. RESULTS No binding of the irrelevant NB was observed in spheroids, whereas for the specific tracers an increase in the spheroid's covered area was observed over time. The NB 7D12 saturated the spheroid earlier than the larger, 7D12-R2. Even slower penetration was observed for the large mAb. In vivo, the tumor uptake of 7D12 was 19-fold higher than R2 after co-injection in the same animal, and 2.5-fold higher than 7D12-R2 when co-injected. 7D12-R2 was mainly localized at the rim of tumors, while 7D12 was found to be more evenly distributed. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that the combination of imaging of tumor spheroids, dual-isotope SPECT, and autoradiography of tumors is effective in comparing tumor uptake and distribution of different NBs. Results were in agreement with published data, highlighting the value of monomeric NBs for tumor imaging, and re-enforcing the value of these techniques to accurately assess the most optimal format for tumor imaging. This combination of techniques requires a lower number of animals to obtain significant data and can accelerate the design of novel tracers.

Abstract
The proximal DNA damage response kinase ATM is frequently inactivated in human malignancies. Germline mutations in the ATM gene cause Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), characterized by cerebellar ataxia and cancer predisposition. Whether ATM deficiency impacts on tumor initiation or also on the maintenance of the malignant state is unclear. Here, we show that Atm reactivation in initially Atm-deficient B- and T cell lymphomas induces tumor regression. We further find a reduced T cell abundance in B cell lymphomas from Atm-defective mice and A-T patients. Using T cell-specific Atm-knockout models, as well as allogeneic transplantation experiments, we pinpoint impaired immune surveillance as a contributor to cancer predisposition and development. Moreover, we demonstrate that Atm-deficient T cells display impaired proliferation capacity upon stimulation, due to replication stress. Altogether, our data indicate that T cell-specific restoration of ATM activity or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may prevent lymphomagenesis in A-T patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To demonstrate that proton resonance frequency shift MR thermometry (PRFS-MRT) acquisition with nonselective free induction decay (FID), combined with coil sensitivity profiles, allows spatially resolved B0 drift-corrected thermometry. METHODS Phantom experiments were performed at 1.5T and 3T. Acquisition of PRFS-MRT and FID were performed during MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound heating. The phase of the FIDs was used to estimate the change in angular frequency δωdrift per coil element. Two correction methods were investigated: (1) using the average δωdrift over all coil elements (0th-order) and (2) using coil sensitivity profiles for spatially resolved correction. Optical probes were used for independent temperature verification. In-vivo feasibility of the methods was evaluated in the leg of 1 healthy volunteer at 1.5T. RESULTS In 30 minutes, B0 drift led to an apparent temperature change of up to -18°C and -98°C at 1.5T and 3T, respectively. In the sonicated area, both corrections had a median error of 0.19°C at 1.5T and -0.54°C at 3T. At 1.5T, the measured median error with respect to the optical probe was -1.28°C with the 0th-order correction and improved to 0.43°C with the spatially resolved correction. In vivo, without correction the spatiotemporal median of the apparent temperature was at -4.3°C and interquartile range (IQR) of 9.31°C. The 0th-order correction had a median of 0.75°C and IQR of 0.96°C. The spatially resolved method had the lowest median at 0.33°C and IQR of 0.80°C. CONCLUSION FID phase information from individual receive coil elements allows spatially resolved B0 drift correction in PRFS-based MRT.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) targeting the programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) has shown promising results in the fight against cancer. Systemic anti-tumor reactions due to radiation therapy (RT) can lead to regression of non-irradiated lesions (NiLs), termed “abscopal effect” (AbE). Combination of both treatments can enhance this effect. The aim of this study was to evaluate AbEs during anti-PD-1 therapy and irradiation. We screened 168 patients receiving pembrolizumab or nivolumab at our center. Inclusion criteria were start of RT within 1 month after the first or last application of pembrolizumab (2 mg/kg every 3 weeks) or nivolumab (3 mg/kg every 2 weeks) and at least one metastasis outside the irradiation field. We estimated the total dose during ICI for each patient using the linear quadratic (LQ) model expressed as 2 Gy equivalent dose (EQD2) using α/β of 10 Gy. Radiological images were required showing progression or no change in NiLs before and regression after completion of RT(s). Images must have been acquired at least 4 weeks after the onset of ICI or RT. The surface areas of the longest diameters of the short- and long-axes of NiLs were measured. One hundred twenty-six out of 168 (75%) patients received ICI and RT. Fifty-three percent (67/126) were treated simultaneously, and 24 of these (36%) were eligible for lesion analysis. AbE was observed in 29% (7/24). One to six lesions (mean = 3 ± 2) in each AbE patient were analyzed. Patients were diagnosed with malignant melanoma (MM) (n = 3), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (n = 3), and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (n = 1). They were irradiated once (n = 1), twice (n = 2), or three times (n = 4) with an average total EQD2 of 120.0 ± 37.7 Gy. Eighty-two percent of RTs of AbE patients were applied with high single doses. MM patients received pembrolizumab, NSCLC, and RCC patients received nivolumab for an average duration of 45 ± 35 weeks. We demonstrate that 29% of the analyzed patients showed AbE. Strict inclusion criteria were applied to distinguish the effects of AbE from the systemic effect of ICI. Our data suggest the clinical existence of systemic effects of irradiation under ICI and could contribute to the development of a broader range of cancer treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) allows noninvasive heating of deep-seated tissues. Guidance under magnetic resonance imaging (MR-HIFU) offers spatial targeting based on anatomical MR images as well as MR-based near-real-time temperature maps. Temperature feedback allows delivery of a well-defined thermal dose enabling new applications such as the ablation of malignant tissue. METHODS Peer-reviewed publications on MR-HIFU were studied and are summarized in this review. Literature was restricted to applications in oncology. RESULTS Several MR-HIFU-based applications for the treatment of malignant diseases are currently part of clinical trials or translational research. Recent trials regarding the treatment of prostate cancer with MR-HIFU have already shown this to be a safe and patient-friendly method. For the treatment of breast cancer and malignancies within abdominal organs, MR-HIFU has been applied so far only in proof of concept studies. CONCLUSION MR-HIFU is currently being investigated for the ablative treatment of malignant tissue in a variety of oncological applications. For example, the transrectal as well as transurethral ablation of prostate cancer using MR-HIFU was shown to be a patient-friendly, safe alternative to other local treatment options with low side effects. KEY POINTS · MR guidance offers high soft tissue contrast for treatment planning, near-real-time temperature monitoring, and post-interventional therapy evaluation.. · Special HIFU transducers and technological solutions are available for the treatment of e. g. prostate cancer, breast cancer or abdominal malignancies..

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a promising method for the noninvasive thermal ablation of benign and malignant tissue. Current HIFU treatments are performed under ultrasound (US-HIFU) or magnetic resonance (MR-HIFU) image guidance offering integrated therapy planning, real-time control (spatial and temperature guidance) and evaluation. METHODS This review is based on publications in peer-reviewed journals addressing thermal ablation using HIFU and includes our own clinical results as well. The technical background of HIFU is explained with an emphasis on MR-HIFU applications. A brief overview of the most commonly performed CE-approved clinical applications for MR-HIFU is given. RESULTS Over the last decade, several HIFU-based applications have received clinical approval in various countries. In particular, MR-HIFU is now approved for the clinical treatment of uterine fibroids, palliation of bone pain, ablation of the prostate and treatment of essential tremor as a first neurological application. CONCLUSION MR-HIFU is a patient-friendly noninvasive method for thermal ablation which has received clinical approval for several applications. Overall, clinical data demonstrate treatment efficacy, safety and cost efficiency. KEY POINTS · HIFU is a promising technique for noninvasive thermal ablation of tissue.. · HIFU is typically performed under image guidance using either diagnostic ultrasound (US-HIFU) or MRI (MR-HIFU).. · The preferred image guidance modality depends on the application.. · MR guidance offers improved soft-tissue contrast for treatment planning, near real-time and noninvasive temperature monitoring and post-interventional therapy evaluation.. · MR-HIFU is CE-approved for treatment of uterine fibroids, alleviation of bone pain, prostate tissue ablation and treatment of essential tremor..

Abstract
The combined administration of thermosensitive liposomes (TSLs) and hyperthermia (HT) has been increasingly shown to be a powerful tool for the treatment of solid tumors. At present, it is hypothesized that the circulation of TSLs through the vasculature of a heated tumor results in the rapid release of the entrapped drug, followed by its uptake and distribution within the tumor microenvironment. However, simple questions on the transport kinetics of TSLs through the heated tumor and how much drug is retained upon passage of TSLs through the tumor microcirculation have not been investigated in an experimental setting to-date. The present work describes a novel methodology for investigating these parameters by isolated limb infusion (ILI), developed in a rat model of sarcoma. This approach was used to assess the efficacy of Doxorubicin (Dox) delivery by TSL in a heated (42°C) tumor following a single passage of TSL through the tumor vasculature. Analysis of the effluent post-ILI, whole-tumor histological sections, and tissue homogenates revealed that upon a single passage, Dox delivery by TSL at 42°C did not exceed delivery under conventional (i.e. free Dox) or physiological (i.e. TSL at 37°C, or normothermia; NT) conditions. In fact, mathematical modeling demonstrated that at least thirteen passages are required to obtain the intratumoral Dox levels typically achieved using TSL (i.e. ~5%ID/g). Overall, this work investigates TSL-based determinants for achieving efficacious drug delivery using a model of ILI in tumor-bearing rats and the results bear important implications for TSL disposition in vivo.

Abstract
The salamander axolotl is capable of complete regeneration of amputated heart tissue. However, non-invasive imaging tools for assessing its cardiac function were so far not employed. In this study, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is introduced as a non-invasive technique to image heart function of axolotls. Three axolotls were imaged with magnetic resonance imaging using a retrospectively gated Fast Low Angle Shot cine sequence. Within one scanning session the axolotl heart was imaged three times in all planes, consecutively. Heart rate, ejection fraction, stroke volume and cardiac output were calculated using three techniques: (1) combined long-axis, (2) short-axis series, and (3) ultrasound (control for heart rate only). All values are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Heart rate (beats per minute) among different animals was 32.2±6.0 (long axis), 30.4±5.5 (short axis) and 32.7±4.9 (ultrasound) and statistically similar regardless of the imaging method (p > 0.05). Ejection fraction (%) was 59.6±10.8 (long axis) and 48.1±11.3 (short axis) and it differed significantly (p = 0.019). Stroke volume (μl/beat) was 133.7±33.7 (long axis) and 93.2±31.2 (short axis), also differed significantly (p = 0.015). Calculations were consistent among the animals and over three repeated measurements. The heart rate varied depending on depth of anaesthesia. We described a new method for defining and imaging the anatomical planes of the axolotl heart and propose one of our techniques (long axis analysis) may prove useful in defining cardiac function in regenerating axolotl hearts.

Abstract
Local drug delivery of Doxorubicin (Dox) with thermosensitive liposomes (TSL) and hyperthermia (HT) has shown preclinically to achieve high local drug concentrations with good therapeutic efficacy. Currently, this is clinically studied for treatment of chest wall recurrence of breast cancer, however with various outcomes. This study examines the potency of neoadjuvant TSL HT combination therapy in two orthotopic mouse models of human breast cancer, MDA-MB-231 and T-47D, which morphologically correlate to mesenchymal and epithelial phenotypes, respectively. Both cell lines showed improved in vitro chemosensitivity and Dox uptake at HT. Dox-loaded TSL (TSLDox) was stable in vitro in FBS, BALB/c-nu plasma and human plasma, although release of the drug at HT was incomplete for the latter two. Combination treatment with TSLDox and HT in vivo was significantly more effective against MDA-MB-231 tumors, whereas T-47D tumors showed no significant therapeutic response. Ex vivo investigation revealed a higher mean vessel density and poorly differentiated extracellular matrix (ECM) in MDA-MB-231 tumors relative to T-47D tumors. Although in vitro results of the TSLDox and HT treatment were favorable for both cell types, the therapeutic efficacy in vivo was remarkably different. The well-differentiated and slowly-growing T-47D tumors may provide a microenvironment that limits drug delivery to the target cell and therefore renders the therapy ineffective. Mesenchymal and invasive MDA-MB-231 tumors display higher vascularization and less mature ECM, significantly enhancing tumor response to TSLDox and HT treatment. These results yield insight into the efficacy of TSL treatment within different tumor microenvironments, and further advance our understanding of factors that contribute to heterogeneous therapeutic outcomes in clinical trials.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to characterize response to photodynamic therapy (PDT) in a mouse cancer model using a multi-parametric quantitative MRI protocol and to identify MR parameters as potential biomarkers for early assessment of treatment outcome. Methods CT26.WT colon carcinoma tumors were grown subcutaneously in the hind limb of BALB/c mice. Therapy consisted of intravenous injection of the photosensitizer Bremachlorin, followed by 10 min laser illumination (200 mW/cm2) of the tumor 6 h post injection. MRI at 7 T was performed at baseline, directly after PDT, as well as at 24 h, and 72 h. Tumor relaxation time constants (T1 and T2) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were quantified at each time point. Additionally, Gd-DOTA dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI was performed to estimate transfer constants (Ktrans) and volume fractions of the extravascular extracellular space (ve) using standard Tofts-Kermode tracer kinetic modeling. At the end of the experiment, tumor viability was characterized by histology using NADH-diaphorase staining. Results The therapy induced extensive cell death in the tumor and resulted in significant reduction in tumor growth, as compared to untreated controls. Tumor T1 and T2 relaxation times remained unchanged up to 24 h, but decreased at 72 h after treatment. Tumor ADC values significantly increased at 24 h and 72 h. DCE-MRI derived tracer kinetic parameters displayed an early response to the treatment. Directly after PDT complete vascular shutdown was observed in large parts of the tumors and reduced uptake (decreased Ktrans) in remaining tumor tissue. At 24 h, contrast uptake in most tumors was essentially absent. Out of 5 animals that were monitored for 2 weeks after treatment, 3 had tumor recurrence, in locations that showed strong contrast uptake at 72 h. Conclusion DCE-MRI is an effective tool for visualization of vascular effects directly after PDT. Endogenous contrast parameters T1, T2, and ADC, measured at 24 to 72 h after PDT, are also potential biomarkers for evaluation of therapy outcome.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (Dox) loaded thermosensitive liposomes (TSLs) have shown promising results for hyperthermia-induced local drug delivery to solid tumors. Typically, the tumor is heated to hyperthermic temperatures (41-42 °C), which induced intravascular drug release from TSLs within the tumor tissue leading to high local drug concentrations (1-step delivery protocol). Next to providing a trigger for drug release, hyperthermia (HT) has been shown to be cytotoxic to tumor tissue, to enhance chemosensitivity and to increase particle extravasation from the vasculature into the tumor interstitial space. The latter can be exploited for a 2-step delivery protocol, where HT is applied prior to i.v. TSL injection to enhance tumor uptake, and after 4 hours waiting time for a second time to induce drug release. In this study, we compare the 1- and 2-step delivery protocols and investigate which factors are of importance for a therapeutic response. In murine B16 melanoma and BFS-1 sarcoma cell lines, HT induced an enhanced Dox uptake in 2D and 3D models, resulting in enhanced chemosensitivity. In vivo, therapeutic efficacy studies were performed for both tumor models, showing a therapeutic response for only the 1-step delivery protocol. SPECT/CT imaging allowed quantification of the liposomal accumulation in both tumor models at physiological temperatures and after a HT treatment. A simple two compartment model was used to derive respective rates for liposomal uptake, washout and retention, showing that the B16 model has a twofold higher liposomal uptake compared to the BFS-1 tumor. HT increases uptake and retention of liposomes in both tumors models by the same factor of 1.66 maintaining the absolute differences between the two models. Histology showed that HT induced apoptosis, blood vessel integrity and interstitial structures are important factors for TSL accumulation in the investigated tumor types. However, modeling data indicated that the intraliposomal Dox fraction did not reach therapeutic relevant concentrations in the tumor tissue in a 2-step delivery protocol due to the leaking of the drug from its liposomal carrier providing an explanation for the observed lack of efficacy.

Abstract
Galectins are carbohydrate binding proteins that function in many key cellular processes. We have previously demonstrated that galectins are essential for tumor angiogenesis and their expression is associated with disease progression. Targeting galectins is therefore a potential anti-angiogenic and anti-cancer strategy. Here, we used a rational approach to generate antibodies against a specific member of this conserved protein family, i.e. galectin-1. We characterized two novel mouse monoclonal antibodies that specifically react with galectin-1 in human, mouse and chicken. We demonstrate that these antibodies are excellent tools to study galectin-1 expression and function in a broad array of biological systems. In a potential diagnostic application, radiolabeled antibodies showed specific targeting of galectin-1 positive tumors. In a therapeutic setting, the antibodies inhibited sprouting angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo, underscoring the key function of galectin-1 in this process.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) has been clinically shown to be effective for palliative pain management in patients suffering from skeletal metastasis. The underlying mechanism is supposed to be periosteal denervation caused by ablative temperatures reached through ultrasound heating of the cortex. The challenge is exact temperature control during sonication as MR-based thermometry approaches for bone tissue are currently not available. Thus, in contrast to the MR-HIFU ablation of soft tissue, a thermometry feedback to the HIFU is lacking, and the treatment of bone metastasis is entirely based on temperature information acquired in the soft tissue adjacent to the bone surface. However, heating of the adjacent tissue depends on the exact sonication protocol and requires extensive modelling to estimate the actual temperature of the cortex. Here we develop a computational model to calculate the spatial temperature evolution in bone and the adjacent tissue during sonication. First, a ray-tracing technique is used to compute the heat production in each spatial point serving as a source term for the second part, where the actual temperature is calculated as a function of space and time by solving the Pennes bio-heat equation. Importantly, our model includes shear waves that arise at the bone interface as well as all geometrical considerations of transducer and bone geometry. The model was compared with a theoretical approach based on the far field approximation and an MR-HIFU experiment using a bone phantom. Furthermore, we investigated the contribution of shear waves to the heat production and resulting temperatures in bone. The temperature evolution predicted by our model was in accordance with the far field approximation and agreed well with the experimental data obtained in phantoms. Our model allows the simulation of the HIFU treatments of bone metastasis in patients and can be extended to a planning tool prior to MR-HIFU treatments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Bone pain resulting from cancer metastases reduces a patient's quality of life. Magnetic Resonance-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MR-HIFU) is a promising alternative palliative thermal treatment technique for bone metastases that has been tested in a few clinical studies. Here, we describe a comprehensive pre-clinical study to investigate the effects, and efficacy of MR-HIFU ablation for the palliative treatment of osteoblastic bone metastases in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prostate cancer cells (MATLyLu) were injected intra-osseously in Copenhagen rats. Upon detection of pain, as determined with a dynamic weight bearing (DWB) system, a MR-HIFU system was used to thermally ablate the bone region with tumor. Treatment effect and efficacy were assessed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with technetium-99m medronate ((99m)Tc-MDP), micro-computed tomography (μCT) and histology. RESULTS DWB analysis demonstrated that MR-HIFU-treated animals retained 58.6 ± 20.4% of limb usage as compared to 2.6 ± 6.3% in untreated animals (P=0.003). MR-HIFU delayed tumor specific growth rates (SGR) from 29 ± 6 to 13 ± 5%/day (P<0.001). Untreated animals (316.5 ± 78.9 mm(3)) had a greater accumulation of (99m)Tc-MDP than HIFU-treated animals (127.0 ± 42.7 mm(3), P=0.004). The total bone volume increase for untreated and HIFU-treated animals was 15.6 ± 9.6% and 3.0 ± 4.1% (P=0.004), respectively. Histological analysis showed ablation of nerve fibers, tumor, inflammatory and bone cells. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides a detailed characterization of the effects of MR-HIFU treatment on bone metastases, and provides fundamental data, which may motivate and advance its use in the clinical treatment of painful bone metastases with MR-HIFU.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is a prerequisite for solid tumors to grow and metastasize, providing oxygen and nutrients to the tumor site. The protein galectin-1 has been identified to be overexpressed on tumor vasculature and represents an interesting target for anti-angiogenic therapy, as well as in molecular imaging. Therefore, the galectin-1-binding peptide Anginex was modified for radiolabeling using (111)In. In vitro, (111)In-Ax showed significantly more binding to galectin-1-positive EC-RF24 and MDA-MB-231-LITG cells than to galectin-1-negative LS174T cells and association with EC-RF24 cells was reduced in the presence of excess native Anginex. However, ex vivo biodistribution profiles showed little tumor uptake of (111)In-Ax and extensive accumulation in non-target organs. Although this study shows the ease of modification of the therapeutic peptide Anginex and favorable characteristics in vitro, in vivo assessment of the tracer revealed negligible tumor targeting. Hence, the strategy we employed lends little support for successful non-invasive imaging of tumor angiogenesis using this peptide.

Abstract
Evaluation of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment with MRI is generally based on assessment of the non-perfused volume from contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images. However, the vascular status of tissue surrounding the non-perfused volume has not been extensively investigated with MRI. In this study, cluster analysis of the transfer constant K(trans) and extravascular extracellular volume fraction ve , derived from dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) data, was performed in tumor tissue surrounding the non-perfused volume to identify tumor subregions with distinct contrast agent uptake kinetics. DCE-MRI was performed in CT26.WT colon carcinoma-bearing BALB/c mice before (n = 12), directly after (n = 12) and 3 days after (n = 6) partial tumor treatment with HIFU. In addition, a non-treated control group (n = 6) was included. The non-perfused volume was identified based on the level of contrast enhancement. Quantitative comparison between non-perfused tumor fractions and non-viable tumor fractions derived from NADH-diaphorase histology showed a stronger agreement between these fractions 3 days after treatment (R(2) to line of identity = 0.91) compared with directly after treatment (R(2) = 0.74). Next, k-means clustering with four clusters was applied to K(trans) and ve parameter values of all significantly enhanced pixels. The fraction of pixels within two clusters, characterized by a low K(trans) and either a low or high ve , significantly increased after HIFU. Changes in composition of these clusters were considered to be HIFU induced. Qualitative H&E histology showed that HIFU-induced alterations in these clusters may be associated with hemorrhage and structural tissue disruption. Combined microvasculature and hypoxia staining suggested that these tissue changes may affect blood vessel functionality and thereby tumor oxygenation. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that, in addition to assessment of the non-perfused tumor volume, the presented methodology gives further insight into HIFU-induced effects on tumor vascular status. This method may aid in assessment of the consequences of vascular alterations for the fate of the tissue.

Abstract
In this study, a new 89 Zr- and Fe3+ -labeled micelle nanoplatform (89 Zr/Fe-DFO-micelles) for dual modality position emission tomography/magnetic resonance (PET/MR) imaging is investigated. The nanoplatform consists of self-assembling amphiphilic diblock copolymers that are functionalized with 89 Zr-deferoxamine (89 Zr-DFO) and Fe3+ -deferoxamine (Fe-DFO) for PET and MR purposes, respectively. 89 Zr displays favorable PET imaging characteristics with a 3.3 d half-life suitable for imaging long circulating nanoparticles. The nanoparticles are modified with Fe-DFO as MR T1 -contrast label instead of commonly used Gd3+ -based chelates. As these micelles are cleared by liver and spleen, any long term Gd- related toxicity such as nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is avoided. As a proof of concept, an in vivo PET/MR study in mice is presented showing tumor targeting of 89 Zr/Fe-DFO-micelles through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect of tumors, yielding high tumor-to-blood (10.3 ± 3.6) and tumor-to-muscle (15.3 ± 8.1) ratios at 48 h post injection. In vivo PET images clearly delineate the tumor tissue and show good correspondence with ex vivo biodistribution results. In vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows visualization of the intratumoral distribution of the 89 Zr/Fe-DFO-micelles at high resolution. In summary, the 89 Zr/Fe-DFO-micelle nanoparticulate platform allows EPR-based tumor PET/MRI, and, furthermore, holds great potential for PET/MR image guided drug delivery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) is a promising technique for palliative treatment of bone pain. In this study, the effects of MR-HIFU ablation on bone mechanics and modeling were investigated. METHODS A total of 12 healthy rat femurs were ablated using 10 W for 46 ± 4 s per sonication with 4 sonications for each femur. At 7 days after treatments, all animals underwent MR and single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) imaging. Then, six animals were euthanized. At 1 month following ablations, the remaining six animals were scanned again with MR and SPECT/CT prior to euthanization. Thereafter, both the HIFU-treated and contralateral control bones of three animals from each time interval were processed for histology, whereas the remaining bones were subjected to micro-CT (μCT), three-point bending tests, and micro-finite element (micro-FE) analyses. RESULTS At 7 days after HIFU ablations, edema formation around the treated bones coupled with bone marrow and cortical bone necrosis was observed on MRI and histological images. SPECT/CT and μCT images revealed presence of bone modeling through an increased uptake of (99m)Tc-MDP and formation of woven bone, respectively. At 31 days after ablations, as illustrated by imaging and histology, healing of the treated bone and the surrounding soft tissue was noted, marked by decreased in amount of tissue damage, formation of scar tissue, and sub-periosteal reaction. The results of three-point bending tests showed no significant differences in elastic stiffness, ultimate load, and yield load between the HIFU-treated and contralateral control bones at 7 days and 1 month after treatments. Similarly, the elastic stiffness and Young's moduli determined by micro-FE analyses at both time intervals were not statistically different. CONCLUSIONS Multimodality imaging and histological data illustrated the presence of HIFU-induced bone damage at the cellular level, which activated the bone repair mechanisms. Despite that, these changes did not have a mechanical impact on the bone.

Abstract
Bone is one of the most common metastatic target sites in breast cancer, with more than 200 thousand new cases of invasive cancer diagnosed in the US alone in 2011. We set out to establish a multimodality imaging platform for bone metastases in small animals as a tool to non-invasively quantify metastasis growth, imaging the ensuing bone lesions and possibly the response to treatment. To this end, a mouse model of osteolytic metastatic bone tumors was characterized with SPECT/CT and MRI over time. A cell line capable of forming bone metastases, MDA-MB-231, was genetically modified to stably express the reporter gene herpes simplex virus-1 thymidine kinase (hsv-1 tk). The intracellular accumulation of the radiolabeled tracer [(123)I]FIAU promoted by HSV-1 TK specifically pinpoints the location of tumor cells which can be imaged in vivo by SPECT. First, a study using tumors implanted subcutaneously was performed. The SPECT/MRI overlays and the ex vivo γ-counting showed a linear correlation in terms of %ID/cm(3) (R(2)=0.93) and %ID/g (R(2)=0.77), respectively. Then, bone metastasis growth was imaged weekly by SPECT/CT and T2-weighted MRI over a maximum of 40 days post-intracardiac injection of tumor cells. The first activity spots detectable with SPECT, around day 20 post-cell injection, were smaller than 2mm(3) and not yet visible by MRI and increased in volume and in %ID over the weeks. Osteolytic bone lesions were visible by CT (in vivo) and μCT (ex vivo). The SPECT/MRI overlays also showed a linear correlation in terms of %ID/cm(3) (R(2)=0.86). In conclusion, a new multimodality imaging platform has been established that non-invasively combines images of active tumor areas (SPECT), tumor volume (MRI) and the corresponding bone lesions (CT and μCT). To our knowledge this is the first report where the combination of soft tissue information from MRI, bone lesions by CT, and reporter gene imaging by SPECT is used to non-invasively follow metastatic bone lesions.

Abstract
Molecular imaging is a powerful tool to visualize and characterize biological processes at the cellular and molecular level in vivo. In most molecular imaging approaches, probes are used to bind to disease-specific biomarkers highlighting disease target sites. In recent years, a new subset of molecular imaging probes, known as bioresponsive molecular probes, has been developed. These probes generally benefit from signal enhancement at the site of interaction with its target. There are mainly two classes of bioresponsive imaging probes. The first class consists of probes that show direct activation of the imaging label (from "off" to "on" state) and have been applied in optical imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The other class consists of probes that show specific retention of the imaging label at the site of target interaction and these probes have found application in all different imaging modalities, including photoacoustic imaging and nuclear imaging. In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of bioresponsive imaging probes in order to discuss the various molecular imaging strategies. The focus of the present article is the rationale behind the design of bioresponsive molecular imaging probes and their potential in vivo application for the detection of endogenous molecular targets in pathologies such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is an emerging medical imaging modality that directly visualizes magnetic particles in a hot-spot like fashion. We recently developed an iron oxide nanoparticle-micelle (ION-Micelle) platform that allows highly sensitive MPI. The goal of this study was to assess the potential of the ION-Micelles for MPI-based detection of thrombi. To this aim, an in vivo carotid artery thrombosis mouse model was employed and ex vivo magnetic particle spectrometer (MPS) measurements of the carotid arteries were performed. In addition, we studied the effect of functionalization of the ION-Micelle nanoplatform with fibrin-binding peptides (FibPeps) with respect to nanoparticle thrombus uptake and hence thrombus detection. In vivo quantitative MR imaging pre- and post-ION-Micelle injection was performed as reference for visualization of ION-micelle uptake. ION-Micelles significantly decreased T2 values in the thrombi with respect to pre-injection T2 values (p < 0.01) and significantly increased ex vivo MPS thrombus signal with respect to the noninjured, contralateral carotid (p < 0.01). Functionalization of the ION-Micelles with the FibPep peptides did not result in an increased MPS thrombus signal with respect to the non-fibrin binding ION-Micelles. The lack of a significant increased thrombus uptake for the FibPep-ION-Micelles indicates that (non-fibrin-specific) entrapment of nanoparticles in the mesh-like thrombi is the key contributor to thrombus nanoparticle uptake. Therefore, (nontargeted) ION-Micelles might be of value for noninvasive MPI-based diagnosis, characterization and treatment monitoring of thrombosis.
