The purpose of this study is to investigate the
correlation between the in vivo heterogeneity in tumor
perfusion and cellularity in renal masses using dynamic
contrast-enhanced (DCE) and diffusion-weighted imaging
(DWI) techniques. Quantitative DCE and DWI parameters
were obtained from the whole tumor, and from areas with
high- and low-enhancement in the tumor. High-enhancement
tumor regions demonstrated significant higher perfusion
measures as well as lower ADC values. Our results
confirm the correlation between intra-tumoral
heterogeneity in blood flow and ADC in patients with
renal masses.
