Semi-quantitative measures of tumor perfusion

Measure Pre-TACE Post-TACE Percent change P-value
AUC 439 (61-1105) 221 (22-865) 50 0.004
Peak SI 32 (7-73) 19 (6-59) 41 0.012
MUS 11 (2-26) 3 (1-30) 73 0.048
Time to peak SI 23 sec (16-47) 36 sec (10-52) 57 0.235

TACE = transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, AUC = area under curve, SI = signal intensity, MUS = maximum upslope, sec = seconds
