This prospective self-control study was designed to explore if there is difference between single and dual arterial input function (AIF) for analyzing quantitative dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Our result showed that there is no statistical difference of quantitative parameters K^trans, V_e, V_p between single and dual AIF groups. The parameter K_ep was different between two groups, but it had a parallel relationship with CD34-MVD of HCC, for that, dual AIF didn’t have advantage over single AIF.
