Computed Tomography Perfusion Measurements in Renal Lesions Obtained by Bayesian Estimation, Advanced Singular-Value Decomposition Deconvolution, Maximum Slope, and Patlak Models: Intermodel Agreement and Diagnostic Accuracy of Tumor Classification
Conclusions
Quantitative perfusion parameters obtained from different mathematical models cannot be used interchangeably. Based on BF and BV estimates, all models are a useful tool in the differential diagnosis of kidney tumors, with the Patlak plot model yielding a significantly lower diagnostic accuracy.
