Tumor vascularity in renal masses: correlation of arterial spin-labeled and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging assessments
Background The objective of this study was to investigate potential correlations between
perfusion using arterial spin-labeled (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and dynamic
contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI-derived quantitative measures of vascularity in renal
masses> 2 cm and to correlate these with microvessel density (MVD) in clear cell renal cell
carcinoma (ccRCC). Patients and Methods Informed written consent was obtained from all
patients before imaging in this Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act-compliant …
