Abstract

To explore the correlation between the expression level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissue and quantitative parameters of spectral CT imaging. Forty-eight patients with NSCLC were subjected to a spectral CT imaging protocol before a surgical operation. The concentrations of iodine concentration, water concentration, and CT values at 40 keV in the region of interest were measured. The slopes of spectral attenuation curves (λHU) in the region were also calculated.
