A dynamic study of correlation between the MR diffusion weighted imaging findings and the expression of proliferation-related and metastasis-related genes in rabbit models of liver VX,tumor before and after chemoembolization / 中华放射学杂志

0.05).Conclusions The potential of VX_2 tumor infiltration and metastasis will decrease after chemoembolization in the long-run,while the proliferation ability will increase within a short period of time. The ADC may reflect the proliferation of VX_2 tumor cells.

Dynamic image-pathological investigation on MR diffusion weighted imaging in rabbit liver VX_2 tumor model / 中华放射学杂志

Objective To investigate the value and dynamic characteristics of diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI)in rabbit liver VX_2 tumor model,with correlation of pathology.Methods Forty New Zealand rabbits were included in the study and VX_2 tumor piece was implanted directly into the liver after laporotomy.Fiffteen had two intrahepatic implants while twenty-five had one implant.DWI was performed on the seventh,fourteenth and twenty-first day after implantation,while routine T_1WI and T_2WI sequences were done on the seventh and fourteenth day.Ten VX_2 tumor samples were studied by pathology.Results The lump detection rates on the seventh day after implantation of DWI,T_1WI and T_2WI were 78.7%(37/47), 10.7%(3/28)and 53.6%(15/28)respectively with statistical significance(x~2=32.61,P
