Fig. 9From: Development of a mathematical model to estimate intra-tumor oxygen concentrations through multi-parametric imagingSensitivity of MPO2 to the vascular input arguments. To investigate the systematic effects of changing the vascular arguments on pO2 in the tumor voxels, the vessel radius (Rc), blood perfusion, metabolic oxygen consumption rate, oxygen saturation rate (SaO2), and hemoglobin concentration (CtHb), are varied by −20 %, −10, 10, and 20 % from their respective reference values (Table 1). The percent deviation in the MPO2 relative to the original value (listed in Table 1) is plottedBack to article page
