Results
- BF was significantly higher in HCC than in P compared with P (780.6 ± 204.2 vs 148.9 ± 79.7 mL/min/100g, respectively; p<0.0001).
- BV was significantly increased in HCC than in P (74.7 ± 46.5 vs 10.1 ± 5.7 mL/100g, respectively; p<0.0001).
- MTT was significantly lower in HCC than in P (4.29 ± 1.59 vs 7.83 ± 4.49, respectively; p=0.0074).
- HAF was significantly higher in HCC than in P (0.618 ± 0.165 vs 0.217 ± 0.108, respectively; p=0.0002).
- PS was significantly higher in HCC than in P (37.98 ± 21.74 vs 17.23 ± 17.45 mL/100g/min, respectively; p=0.0143).
- All datasets were free from substantial motion artifacts, and the overall time needed for post-processing of each dataset was less than 10 minutes.
