Extended graphical model for analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI.
Kinetic analysis with mathematical models has become increasingly important to quantify physiological parameters in computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI). The modified Kety/Tofts model and the graphical (Patlak) model have been widely applied to DCE-MRI results in disease processes such as cancer, inflammation, and ischemia. In...
متن کاملAnalysis of Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI Datasets
The purpose of this research is to perform automated analysis of 4D dynamic contrast enhanced MRI datasets (DCE-MRI) of the hand and wrist relating to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) studies. In DCE-MRI, sequences of images are acquired from the joints over time, during which a contrast agent pre-injected into a patient enhances disease affected tissues. Measurement of this enhancement, which is spec...
متن کاملAutomatic Prostate Cancer Segmentation Using Kinetic Analysis in Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI
Background: Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) provides functional information on the microcirculation in tissues by analyzing the enhancement kinetics which can be used as biomarkers for prostate lesions detection and characterization.Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate spatiotemporal patterns of tumors by extracting semi-quantitative as well as w...
متن کاملValidation and Robustness Analysis of Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI
In Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI there are several steps from the initial signal to obtaining the pharmacokinetic parameters for tumor characterization. The aim of this work was to validate the steps in the flow of data focusing on T1-mapping, Contrast Agent (CA)-quantification and the pharmacokinetical (PK) model, using a digital phantom of a head. In the Digital Phantom tissues are assigned n...
متن کاملDevelopmental Analysis of Placental Vascularization using Dynamic Contrast- enhanced MRI
Introduction: The mammalian placenta allows respiratory gases, nutrients, and wastes to exchange between the maternal and fetal vascular systems. The importance of the placental circulation has long been recognized and is exemplified by the correlation of fetal weight with placental size, and uterine and umbilical blood flow [1]. Reduced placental blood flow can be used as a predictor of high r...
