Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate how the histological scoring of microvessel density affects correlations between integrated (18)F-FDG-PET/perfusion CT parameters and CD105 microvessel density. METHODS: A total of 53 patients were enrolled from 2007 to 2010. Integrated (18)F-FDG-PET/perfusion CT was successful in 45 patients, 35 of whom underwent surgery without intervening treatment. Tumour SUV(max), SUV(mean) and...
