Methods Thirty patients with a total of 43 metastases underwent CT- or MRI-guided HDR-BT. In 13 of these patients a total of 15 additional lesions were identified which were not treated at the initial session and served for comparison. Magnetic resonance imaging MRI including breathhold echoplanar DWI sequences was performed prior to therapy baseline MRI 2 days after HDR-BT early MRI as well as after 3 months follow-up MRI . Tumor volume TV and intratumoral apparent diffusion coefficient ADC were measured independently by two radiologists. Statistical analysis was performed using univariate comparison ANOVA and paired t test as well as Pearson s correlation. Results At early MRI no changes of TV and ADC were found for non-treated colorectal liver metastases. In contrast mean TV of liver lesions treated with HDR-BT increased by p while mean tumor ADC decreased significantly by p . At follow-up MRI mean TV of non-treated metastases increased by p without significant change of mean ADC values. In contrast mean TV of treated lesions decreased by p while the mean ADC increased inversely by compared to baseline values p Pearson s correlation coefficient of r p . Conclusions DWI is a promising imaging biomarker for early prediction .
