Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Tumor angiogenesis is essential for primary and metastatic tumor growth.Computed tomography perfusion(CTP)is a new imaging method,made possible by the recent development of fast CT scanners and improved data analysis techniques,which allows measurement of the physiologic and hemodynamic properties of tissue vasculature.This study aimed to evaluate CTP in the quantification of angiogenesis and to assess the relationship between tissue perfusion parameters and microvascular density(MVD)and vascular...
