Why would someone choose MRI over BLI?

Actually, these two imaging technologies are very complementary. MRI provides high-resolution, 3D anatomical imaging with precise tumor volume quantification, while BLI (bioluminescence imaging) enables real-time tracking of cancer cells and immune cells (e.g., CAR-T cells) interacting with tumors. By combining these two imaging techniques, researchers obtain a more complete picture of cancer progression and treatment response.
