Fig. 18From: How clinical imaging can assess cancer biologyPerfusion CT exam in a 42-year-old man with a metastatic renal carcinoma. Blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), and permeability (PS) parametric maps evidenced the heterogeneity of the functional status of the vasculature within the tumor with several combinations of the obtained parameters (top-left) and clear differences between the time density curves coresponding to the peripheral areas of viable tumor with increased BV, BF, and PS (a) with a wash-in/wash-out pattern and the central necrotic necrotic areas (a)Back to article page
