This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.394, Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research) provides $647,398 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to develop quantitative bone marrow MRI biomarkers to assess the efficacy of novel molecularly targeted agents for myelofibrosis. The 5-year project aims to apply advanced MRI techniques, including Dixon imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, and magnetization transfer imaging, to monitor bone marrow changes in myelofibrosis mouse models. This research seeks to establish a non-invasive MRI-based diagnostic signature that can transform patient management by providing a more sensitive and comprehensive assessment of disease status and treatment response compared to current methods relying on spleen size and bone marrow biopsies.
