MRI estimates of extracellular volume and tumor exudate flux in peritumoral tissue are demonstrated in an experimental model of cerebral tumor. Peritumoral extracellular volume predicted the tumor exudate flux. Eighteen RNU athymic rats were inoculated intracerebrally with U251MG tumor cells and studied with dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) approximately 18 days post-implantation. Using a model selection paradigm and a novel application of Patlak and Logan plots to DCE-MRI data, the distribution volume (i.e., tissue porosity) in the leaky rim of the tumor, and in the tissue external to the rim (the outer rim), was estimated, as was the tumor exudate flow from the inner rim of the tumor through the outer rim. Distribution volume in the outer rim was approximately half that of the inner adjacent region (p < 1×10−4). The distribution volume of the outer ring was significantly correlated (R2 = 0.9) with tumor exudate flow from the inner rim. Thus, peritumoral extracellular volume predicted the rate of tumor exudate flux. One explanation for these data is that perfusion, i.e., the delivery of blood to the tumor, was regulated by the compression of the mostly normal tissue of the tumor rim, and that the tumor exudate flow was limited by tumor perfusion. Exudate flux from an inner ring ROI (tumor) to an outer ring ROI (mostly normal tissue) versus the extracellular volume (VD) of the outer ring ROI in 18 athymic rats with an embedded U251 cerebral tumor. Sixteen of the studies were repeated in a 24 hour interval. The 16 repeated studies are connected with dashed lines. This very significant co-variance (R2 = 0.9) implies that a knowledge of VD in the rim of the will yield a remarkably precise prediction of exudate flow, regardless of other parameters such as TIFP and tumor porosity, which might otherwise be thought necessary for a prediction of the exudate flow rate.
