Preliminary exploration of 3D-APTw imaging in renal tumor applications

APTw imaging focuses on cranial tumor studies with significant clinical value, with fewer studies in mid-upper abdomen, because of the movement of organs and B0 fields inhomogeneous. Previously used showed that intermittent breath-hold (IBH) could to improve the image quality of 3D-APTw imaging in healthy adults. In this study, we used the IBH respiratory compensation mode to initially explore the feasibility of 3D-APTw imaging of renal tumors. The findings suggested that 3D-APTw imaging with IBH can be not only used for imaging renal tumors, but also showed potential values in renal tumors diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
