The aim was to evaluate functional computed tomography (fCT) in the quantification of angiogenesis by comparing the tissue perfusion parameters measured by CT perfusion (CTP) software with histologic vascular parameters in a Matrigel model in rats. It was hypothesized that tissue perfusion parameters and histologic vascular parameters are related.
