Nano Technology And MRI Used To Image Angiogenesis

Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, plays a very critical role in the growth of tumors and cancer metastasis. Recently, a number of therapies were developed to reduce the growth of the vessels nourishing tumors. Thus, improve patient survival in certain types of cancer. The accurate detection of the growth of blood vessels using MRI is now providing more help to physicians while they treat certain types of cancers.
