Purpose: To explore the correlation between contrast-enhancement patterns on dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and angiogenesis by analyzing microvessel density (MVD), vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF), and P53 protein expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Material and Methods: MRI was performed with a GE Signa 1.5T MR scanner using SE and FMPSPGR sequences in 30 patients ( 38 lesions) during the period October 1998 to March 2000. All had histopathologically proven HCC. MR images were reviewed/ analyzed retrospectively. The 30 patients were between 35 and 65 years of age ( average age 58; 18 M and 12 F). SE T1WI, PDWI, and T2WI were acquired initially. The FMPSPGR sequence was acquired in the same position. The DCE-MRI was performed in the arterial, portal vein, and delay phase after a bolus injection of Gd-DTPA. The specimens were stained immunohistochemically for CD34, VEGF, and P53. MVD was highlighted by anti-CD34 antibody staining. The enhancement features of HCC lesions were studied correlatively with the tumor MVD, VEGF, and P53 expression at protein level.Results: In the arterial phase, the results showed that MVD of HCC in the high-enhancement group (229.76 +/- 80.96) was higher than that in the equal-enhancement (173.09 +/- 61.38) and low- enhancement groups (153.00 +/- 108.58) ( P
