Extracellular volume fraction measurement correlates with lymphocyte abundance in thymic epithelial tumors

Abstract Background Recent advance in tissue characterization with parametric mapping imaging has the potential to be a novel biomarker for histopathologic correlation with thymic epithelial tumors (TETs). The purpose of our study is to evaluate MRI T1 mapping with the calculation of extracellular v...
