In this publication, different breast cancer subtypes are distinguished using our exchange method.
Although MRI has shown promise for the characterization of breast cancer, it has low specificity to malignant subtypes. Here, the ability of our exchange method was tested, and shown to be able to distinguish different types of breast cancer cells. Furthermore, the method was also found to be able to measure water exchange over membranes in tumor tissue, but not normal tissue, in vivo.
