Enhancement patterns of pancreatic adenocarcinoma on conventional dynamic multi-detector row CT: Correlation with angiogenesis and fibrosis

Figure 5 Scatter plots showing correlation between the relative enhanced values and histopathological findings. A: The relatively enhanced value in the arterial phase correlated significantly with the extent of MVD (r = 0.593, P = 0.003); B: The relatively enhanced values in the arterial phase correlated significantly and negatively with the extent of fibrosis (r = -0.590, P = 0.003); C: The relatively enhanced values in the pancreatic phase correlated significantly and negatively with the extent of fibrosis (r = -0.483, P = 0.020); D: The relatively enhanced values in the late phase correlated significantly and negatively with the extent of fibrosis (r = -0.433, P = 0.039).
