In this preliminary study, we found that APTw signal increased with elevated concentrations of urea in phantoms. With the optimal scan parameters, the higher APTw contrast in bladder lesions was acquired, which is helpful to differentiate different grading of bladder cancer with APTw imaging.
The upper four tube showed the averaged signal intensity of APTw with urea of the concentration of 2 %, 4 %, 6 %, 8 % were 1.07%, 2.46%, 4.78%, 7.22%;the lower four tubes showed in water, egg white ,a healthy volunteer and a patient with bladder cancer were -0.38% ,8.25% 3.13% and 0.29%.
