Scatter plot showing the correlation between alpha-fetoprotein (AFP; in 23 cases) and nine arterial enhancement fraction (AEF) textures. Except for energy, entropy, and inverse different moment, a linear relationship could be obtained between AFP and the other six textures. The blue line indicated a positive two-way linear causal relationship between AFP (if not too high) and AEF heterogeneity, which meant that a moderate AFP secretion and the complexity of HCC's angiogenesis might have impact on each other in HCC.
