Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast-MRI Quantification Software Tool: Development and Evaluation
Relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) is a magnetic resonance imaging biomarker that is used to differentiate progression from pseudoprogression in patients with glioblastoma multiforme, the most common primary brain tumor. However, calculated rCBV depends considerably on the software used. Automating all steps required for rCBV calculation is important, as user interaction can lead to increase...
متن کاملDynamic susceptibility contrast MRI
Introduction Quantitative dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion MRI (DSC-MRI) is based on the monitoring of the first passage of a bolus of contrast agent through the brain tissue and a brain-feeding artery. The contrast agent is injected rapidly by means of an MRinjector in the antecubital vein in the patients arm and a saline flush is used to push the contrast agent into the direction of ...
متن کاملDynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion MRI (with pitfalls)
Since the first studies in the late 1980s and early 1990s, dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI, also known as ‘bolus tracking’) has become a very powerful technique for the assessment of perfusion, and perfusion-related parameters (see (1,2) for recent reviews). Despite the need of an exogenous MR agent (cf. arterial spin labeling techniques), DSC-MRI is currently the most common MR pe...
متن کاملDynamic susceptibility contrast MRI with localized arterial input functions.
Compared to gold-standard measurements of cerebral perfusion with positron emission tomography using H(2)[(15)O] tracers, measurements with dynamic susceptibility contrast MR are more accessible, less expensive, and less invasive. However, existing methods for analyzing and interpreting data from dynamic susceptibility contrast MR have characteristic disadvantages that include sensitivity to in...
متن کاملA Simulation Tool for Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI
The quantification of bolus-tracking MRI techniques remains challenging. The acquisition usually relies on one contrast and the analysis on a simplified model of the various phenomena that arise within a voxel, leading to inaccurate perfusion estimates. To evaluate how simplifications in the interstitial model impact perfusion estimates, we propose a numerical tool to simulate the MR signal pro...
