Heike Daldrup-Link, MD, PhDUniversity of California, San Francisco MR imaging of ovarian cancer with folate-receptor targeted contrast agents Folate-receptors are relatively absent in normal tissues but overexpressed on cancer cells. Therefore, folate-receptor targeted contrast agents have the potential to provide cancer specific imaging. By targeting these receptors so they will appear vividly in magnetic resonance […]
