Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enhanced with contrast media has the potential to measure the level of angiogenesis in cancers and to monitor the immediate effects of drugs intended to inhibit angiogenesis. To appreciate the significance of such potential, it is necessary to first understand what is angiogenesis and why it is receiving so much attention.
