Our aim was to investigate the correlation between
in
vivo
perfusion
measurement of renal masses by arterial spin labeling
(ASL) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI at 3T and
validate these results against microvessel density (MVD)
at histopathology. Quantitative ASL perfusion (
P
ASL
)
and DCE parameters were obtained from the whole tumor,
and from areas with high- and low- perfusion within the
tumor. ASL measured blood flow in renal masses
correlates with DCE-derived parameters.
P

correlate
with MVD. ASL and DCE MRI at 3T provide a tool for
assessing angiogenesis in renal cancer.
