Application of APTw imaging in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Abstract

The application of amide proton transfer (APT) weighted imaging in molecular imaging of craniocerebral tumors has been relatively mature, but rarely reports on renal tumors. This study conducted a preliminary comparative analysis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and healthy adult renal APT imaging. The APTw values 6.40(6.26~7.75)% of tumor foci in the ccRCC group was significantly higher than that of healthy adult renal (2.05±0.24) %The preliminary results indicate that APT technology has potential clinical application value in the diagnosis of ccRCC.
