Ten New Zealand white rabbits which were implanted with VX2 tumor in either proximal thigh were subjected to CT plain scan and perfusion scan two weeks later respectively, then the original perfusion images were transmitted to AW4.0 Workstation. The functional maps and perfusion parameters including blood flow （BF）, blood volume （BV）, mean transit time （MTT） and permeability surface （PS） were computed and analyzed. All the values of BF, BV and PS in VX2 soft-tissue tumors were obviously higher while the MTT-values were lower than those in the normal muscular tissues significantly. It was suggested that multi-slice spiral CT perfusion imaging is an accurate, convenient and relatively safe functional imaging technique, and can give a quantitative assessment to angiogenesis and blood perfusion of soft-tissue tumors.展开更多

Methods: 8 Newzealand white rabbits were implanted with 0.1 ml VX2 tumor tissue suspension in bilateral proximal thighs. 14 days and 21 days later, CT plain scan and perfusion scan were performed on these rabbits respectively, then the images were transmitted to AW4.0 workstation, the functional maps and perfusion parameters including blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), mean transit time (MTT) and permeability surface (PS) were computed and analyzed. Subsequently, the rabbits were sacrificed, the tumors of which were taken out for pathological examination. The correlation between MSCT functional parametric images and pathological findings was analyzed. Results: All the values of BF, BV and PS of VX2 soft-tissue tumors were obviously higher while the MTT-values were lower than those of the normal muscular tissues significantly (P<0.001). Conclusion: Multi-slice spiral CT perfusion imaging is an accurate, convenient and relatively safe functional imaging technique, which can give a quantitative assessment to blood perfusion and angiogenesis of soft-tissue tumors.展开更多
