CT findings in 27 nontreated patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma were correlated with genomic analysis. Tumor enhancement correlated with presence of vascular endothelial growth factor while epidermal growth factor correlated with mass effect and perineural invasion. Thus, some CT findings may reflect genomic biomarkers.

Perfusion imaging was done in patients with developmental venous anomalies with and without accompanying cavernous malformations. The normal-appearing brain surrounding DVAs showed higher blood volume, longer mean transit time, and variable changes in blood flow. DVAs with cavernomas showed greater MTT prolongation and less blood flow indicating greater restrictive effects upon the adjacent brain. The authors offer some ingenious and interesting explanations for these findings.
