  • “CT perfusion of the liver is a promising technique for assessing the efficacy of various anti-cancer therapies, for diagnosing primary or metastatic tumors, for predicting early response to anticancer treatments, and for monitoring tumor recurrence after therapy.”

  • “Tumor angiogenesis is defined as the process of developing new capillary blood vessels, resulting in tumor vascularization. This process, which is integral to the growth and spread of tumors, consists of several dynamic processes, mediated by a host of growth factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, and platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor.”

  • “CT perfusion may reflect tumor aggressiveness and therefore may allow for the prediction of prognosis based on tumor vascularity because it can provide indirect information regarding tumor neo-angiogenesis. Indeed, reports relating pathologic assessments of tumor angiogenesis to CT perfusion parameters have supported the hypothesis that peak tumor enhancement and blood volume correlate most closely with the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and microvessel density in various tumors.”

  • “ CT perfusion imaging of the liver provides functional information about the microcirculation of normal parenchyma and focal neoplastic lesions of the liver. It is a promising technique for diagnosing primary or metastatic tumors, for assessing the efficacy of systemic or local tumor therapy, for predicting early response to anticancer treatments, and for monitoring tumor recurrence after therapy.”
