Featured Application: Quantitative characterization of intratumor heterogeneity using medical imaging is valuable for guiding theranostic technology in inductive moderate hyperthermia for sarcoma patients. Evaluating intratumor heterogeneity with image texture analysis offers a more sophisticated understanding of sarcoma response to treatment. We examined the effects of inductive moderate hyperthermia (IMH) on sarcoma-45 growth and intratumor heterogeneity across tissue, cellular and molecular levels using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound and histology image analysis. IMH (42 MHz, 20 W) inhibited sarcoma-45 growth kinetics by 34% compared to the untreated control group. T2-weighted MRI brightness was increased by 42%, reflecting more extensive tumor necrosis, while Young's modulus increased by 37% due to more pronounced connective tissue replacement in response to IMH. Whereas calculations of Moran's spatial autocorrelation index revealed distinctions in heterogeneity between tumor core, periphery and capsule regions of interest (ROIs) on MRI, ultrasound and histological examination in the untreated tumor-bearing animals, there was no significant difference between core and periphery after IMH. Exposure to IMH increased overall tumor ROI heterogeneity by 22% on MRI but reduced heterogeneity in the core and periphery on ultrasound and histology images. Ki-67 protein distribution was 25% less heterogeneous on the tumor periphery after IMH. Therefore, this study provides a quantitative characterization of IMH effects on different manifestations of intratumor sarcoma-45 heterogeneity using experimental imaging data.
