First seen May 13, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This completed study tested whether a non-invasive MRI technique (31P-MRS) can monitor changes in energy production in the heart and calf muscles of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy with anthracyclines or platinum drugs. Twelve adult cancer patients underwent three imaging sessions during their treatment. The goal was to see if this scan could detect early signs of muscle and heart damage caused by chemotherapy, without any direct treatment benefit for participants.
