Figure 6.
Case examples of tumour blood flow (TBF) maps of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and inverted papilloma (IP) cases. T2 weighted images (T2WI) and TBF map in a patient with SCC (a, b) and a patient with a non-aggressive IP (c, d). From these T2WI images, the differentiation of SCC and IP was difficult. However, higher TBF was observed in the TBF map of the SCC patient (b, arrows), whereas low/moderate TBF was observed in that of the patient with IP (d, arrowheads). This TBF difference contributed to the differentiation.
