The efficiency of an oncological treatment regimen is often assessed by morphological criteria such as tumour size evaluated by cross-sectional imaging, or by laboratory measurements of plasma biomarkers. Because these types of measures typically allow for assessment of treatment response several weeks or even months after the start of therapy, earlier response assessment that provides insight into tumour function is needed. This is particularly urgent for the evaluation of newer targeted therapies and for fractionated therapies that are delivered over a period of weeks to allow for a change of treatment in non-responding patients. Diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) is a non-invasive imaging tool that does not involve radiation or contrast media, and is sensitive to tissue microstructure and function on a cellular level. DW-MRI parameters have shown sensitivity to treatment response in a growing number of tumour types and organ sites, with additional potential as predictive parameters for treatment outcome. A brief overview of DW-MRI principles is provided here, followed by a review of recent literature in which DW-MRI has been used to monitor and predict tumour response to various therapeutic regimens.
