The reproducibility of DCE-MRI parameters, as assessed by CV%, is in the range 13.4-16.6%, and appears better than for DCE-CT parameters (range 16.5-25.5%). The latter however may allow discrimination of perfusion and permeability, which the composite DCE-MRI parameter, Ktrans, does not. This may be of importance in future antiangiogenic targets.
