Increasing gadolinium concentrations and microvasculature density in tissues with higher histopthological scores. Kruskal-Wallis analysis with a Dunn’s post-test showed high statistical significance for increasing histopathological scores and CGd as observed in the scatter plot of CGd vs. histopathological scores (p = 0.0010) as well as increasing histopathological scores and MVD (p < 0.0001). CGd, gadolinium concentration; CPpIX = ;protoporphyrin IX concentration; MVD, microvascular density. Scoring criteria are described in Materials and Methods.
