Figure 3

First pass analysis (FPA) and maximum slope model (MSM) perfusion maps. Conventional dynamic CT image (a), MSM perfusion map (b), FPA1 perfusion map at tmax (c) and FPA2 perfusion map at t9 (d) are shown for an adenocarcinoma patient. The blood flow (BF) perfusion maps show mean and SD values for circular ROI2 (carcinoma) and ROI3 (parenchyma). Note the higher mean BF of parenchyma tissue as compared to carcinoma for FPA1, FPA2, and MSM. Mean values are comparable between FPA1, FPA2, and MSM for the corresponding tissue regions.
