Sola Adeleke, MBBS, PhD, King’s College London, London, UK, provides an overview of novel imaging techniques in cancer. Hyperpolarized MRI increases the alignment of protons during the process to introduce further contrast in images and fat fraction imaging can be used to quantify fat changes in tissues as they replace tumor masses. Whilst hyperpolarized MRI has accessibility barriers relating to cost and resource availability, fat fraction imaging is already being adopted in several clinical settings such as screening for familial conditions and assessing breast cancer treatment responses. In his talk, he also discusses other imaging techniques such as MRI fingerprinting, and combining imaging with other techniques such as genomics and clinical data. Advances in these techniques will allow for earlier diagnoses, deeper tumor interrogation, better assessment of treatment responses and more accurate prognoses. This interview took place at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Asia 2023 Congress in Singapore.
