Age related changes in perfusion and vascular permeability characteristics of the liver tissue have been investigated using dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). Correlation statistics are performed between the age and several DCE-MRI parameters for subsets of gender and type for a group of primary liver cancer patients.
