(a–l) Axial images showing a thymic carcinoma (75 y, M). (a) Original image (mixed energy) of the chest showing a left anterior mediastinal mass. ROI 1 was selected from the aorta to calculate the TDC curve automatically. ROI 2 was selected from the tumor to calculate perfusion parameters automatically. (b) The optimal arterial phase (tenth) and venous phase (twenty-first) were obtained in the TDC curve. (c,d,e,f) BF, BV, MTT, and PS value were 61.71 ml/min/100 g, 7.03 ml/100 g, 9.47 s and 41.33 ml/min/100 g respectively, in pseudo-color maps. (g,h, i) WC^a, IC^a, NIC^a and λ_HU^a values of the tumor were 1038.60 mg/cm³, 11.83 × 10² μg/cm³, 0.087, and 1.90 in the Water (Iodine), Iodine (Water) and spectral curve maps respectively, in the optimal arterial phase. (j,k,l) WC^v, IC^v, NIC^v and λ_HU^v values of the tumor were 1040.87 mg/cm³, 14.18 × 10² μg/cm³, 0.357, and 2.28 in the Water (Iodine), Iodine (Water) and spectral curve maps respectively, in the optimal venous phase.
