In vivo magnetic resonance detection of bladder tumor growth. Detection of bladder tumors was performed by using MRI on d 0, 4, 7 and 11 after implantation of murine bladder cancer cells. A transverse section and longitudinal section of the MRI results were photographed. These images show tumors in the untreated control mice observed on d 7 and 11 (upper panel, C group), while a relative small tumor was observed in the GFW-treated mice on d 11 (the lower panel, GFW group). This demonstrates the retardation of tumor growth by GFW. Arrows indicate bladder tumors. Scale bar, 1 mm.
