Enhancement patterns of pancreatic adenocarcinoma on conventional dynamic multi-detector row CT: Correlation with angiogenesis and fibrosis

Figure 1 Scatter plots showing correlation between absolute values and histopathological findings. A: The absolute value in the arterial phase correlated significantly with the level of VEGF (r = 0.418, P = 0.047); B: The absolute value in the arterial phase correlated significantly with MVD (r = 0.649, P = 0.001); C: The absolute value in the arterial phase correlated significantly and negatively with the extent of fibrosis (r = -0.556, P = 0.006); D: The absolute value in the pancreatic phase correlated significantly and negatively with the extent of fibrosis (r = -0.488, P = 0.018); E: The absolute value in the late phase correlated significantly and negatively with the extent of fibrosis (r = -0.442, P = 0.035).
