From: Quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging can be used to predict the pathologic stages of oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma

Fig. 2

A well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma in the tongue, T1N0M0 (stage I). ac The tumor was seen as a 20 mm × 12 mm × 11 mm mass (arrows) with isointense signal on T1WI (a) and hyperintense signal on T2WI (b), with heterogeneous enhancement on fat-suppressed contrast-enhanced T1WI (c). d DCE-MRI parameters are evaluated by a 3-D volume of interest (arrow). eh Pseudocolorized maps show individual parameters derived from DCE-MRI. The measured Ktrans (e) is 0.125 min−1, Kep (f) is 0.995 min−1, Ve (g) is 0.127, and Vp (h) is 0.054
