What about anti-angiogenic therapy? B.M. Ellingson, Ph.D., Dept. of Radiological Sciences, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLAISMRM, Montreal, 2011 Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measured clinically reflects extracellular water Large changes in ADC after anti-angiogenic therapy reflect (largely) reduction in edema Subtle decreases in ADC after anti-angiogenic treatment are likely to contain solid / infiltrating tumor
