Abstract

PURPOSE: DCE MRI is a functional imaging modality, which is widely acknowledged to be linked to microvessel density in tissues. Therefore, it might be able to predict vessels in tumors. The present study sought to elucidate possible associations between microvessel density and histogram parameters in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC).

METHOD: 30 patients with histologically proven HNSCC were included in the study. DCE MRI was performed with a 3 T MRI and histogram analysis was calculated with a whole lesion measurement. In every case microvessel density was estimated with CD105 stained specimens.

RESULTS: Median derived from K

CONCLUSIONS: Histogram parameters derived from K
