OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the signal intensity characteristics of highly invasive and highly metastasizing transplanted human squamous cell carcinoma using ultra-small super-paramagnetic iron oxide (USPIO)-enhanced MRI and to correlate them with USPIO distribution to tumour components revealed by histological examination.
METHODS: 13 nude mice with transplanted human squamous cell carcinoma in the oral cavity were imaged before and 24 hours after intravenous administration of USPIO. The difference in signal intensity between pre-contrast and post-contrast MR images was visually evaluated. For quantitative analysis, signal intensity within a region of interest was measured. Histological findings were correlated with MR findings. The approximate USPIO concentration was evaluated using USPIO phantoms.
RESULTS: Seven tumours had an area showing signal intensity increase on post-contrast T₁ weighted images. Histopathologically, six of those tumours contained a small amount of iron particles in the stroma. The USPIO concentration was presumed low. Two tumours had an area showing signal intensity decrease on post-contrast T₁ and T₂ weighted images. The areas had a large amount of iron particles in the stroma and the USPIO concentration was presumed high. There was a minimal amount of iron particles in tumour parenchymal cells.
CONCLUSIONS: The amount of USPIO accumulation into tumour stroma was considered to affect MR signal intensity. A small amount increases T₁ weighted signal intensity, whereas a large amount decreases T₁ and T₂ weighted intensity. The USPIO accumulation into the tumour parenchyma was not thought to affect MR signal intensity.
