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 Ktrans, Ve, Vp between single and dual AIF groups. The parameter Kep 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.
