Automated Generation of Reliable Blood Velocity Parameter Maps from Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Data
Objectives The purpose of this study was the automated generation and validation of parametric blood flow velocity maps, based on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) scans. Materials and Methods Ethical approval for animal experiments was obtained. CEUS destruction-replenishment sequences were recorded in phantoms and three different tumor xenograft mouse models. Systematic pixel binning and ...
متن کاملQuantifying spatial heterogeneity in dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI parameter maps.
Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI is becoming a standard tool for imaging-based trials of anti-vascular/angiogenic agents in cancer. So far, however, biomarkers derived from DCE-MRI parameter maps have largely neglected the fact that the maps have spatial structure and instead focussed on distributional summary statistics. Such statistics-e.g., biomarkers based on median values-neglect the spatial ...
متن کاملDirect estimation of tracer-kinetic parameter maps from highly undersampled brain dynamic contrast enhanced MRI.
PURPOSE The purpose of this work was to develop and evaluate a T1 -weighted dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI methodology where tracer-kinetic (TK) parameter maps are directly estimated from undersampled (k,t)-space data. THEORY AND METHODS The proposed reconstruction involves solving a nonlinear least squares optimization problem that includes explicit use of a full forward model to conver...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasound.
Compared to other imaging modalities, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has limitations in terms of image enhancement. However, with the availability of contrast agents in ultrasonography, EUS has evolved. Contrast-enhanced Doppler EUS (CD-EUS) enhances Doppler signals from vessels and is useful for characterizing lesions detected by EUS. Moreover, contrast-enhanced harmonic EUS (CH-EUS) with second-...
