Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI of breast disease: correlation of MR findings with vascular endothelial growth factor and microvessel density / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine the relation dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histologic features and angiogenesis of breast disease. Methods: Forty patients with breast disease, diagnosed by histopathology were reviewed, including imaging and pathological data. Dynamic MRI was performed by a fat-suppressed 3D-FSPGR sequence ,Time-Signal curve was acquired by Functool 2 software, then early-phase enhancement rate and E max , T max were acquired. The mean MVD and VEGF expression of the lesions were measured with immunohistology. Evaluation of inflammatory changes was assessed by histology. Results: The MVD , VEGF expression and inflammatory scores of malignant tumor were significantly higher than that of benign tumor(P0.05), The Time-SI curve between malignant and benign was significant different(P
