Abstract
MRI monitoring of key physiological parameters facilitates optimization related to approximate real time concomitant treatments, including correct timing and various combinations of drug therapy, hyperthermia, ionizing radiation, ablation, other treatment options, before or after surgery. The likelihood of an improved therapeutic index with the use of such a system seems compelling. Further research related to optimal timing, combinations of responses between liposomally encapsulated drug dosage, ultrasound exposure, hyperthermia, pO2 response time, ionizing radiation fractionation and treatment time, have to be conducted.
