Spatial two tissue compartment model for DCE-MRI
In the quantitative analysis of Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) compartment models allow to describe the uptake of contrast medium with biological meaningful kinetic parameters. As simple models often fail to adequately describe the observed uptake behavior, more complex compartment models have been proposed. However, the nonlinear regression problem arising from ...
متن کاملTissue estimated vascular input functions improve DCE-MRI model fitting
Introduction Dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) imaging allows for the characterization of vascular tissue properties, such as K and extra cellular volume. To model the pharmacokinetic (PK) behaviour of the injected contrast agent, it is necessary to estimate or measure the arterial input function (AIF) of the imaged region. To reduce the variability in a measured AIF, a population AIF is often us...
متن کاملDefining adequate complexity of compartment models in DCE-MRI
INTRODUCTION Pharmacokinetic models are typically used for the quantitative analysis of concentration time series obtained with Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI). Often, the concentration medium uptake is not adequately described by the simple one compartment model (1Comp) proposed by Tofts and Kermode [4]. Malignant tissue is heterogeneous [1], especially at tumor ...
متن کاملSeries expansion of multi-compartment models for DCE-MRI
PURPOSE: Improvements in DCE-MRI data quality are increasingly generating a need for advanced compartmental models to better describe the physiology underlying these data [1]. However, this development is severely constrained by the fact that analytical solutions exist for only the simplest multi-compartment models. Even when such solutions do exist [2], they are algebraically complicated and d...
متن کاملDynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI): From the Simplest to the Most Advanced DCE-Model
1. Tracer Kinetic Modeling • Extracellular agents (such as Gd-DTPA) accumulate in the interstitium of many tissues (e.g. muscle) but do not cross the healthy blood-brain-barrier. • Functional information may be obtained by treating Gd-DTPA as a tracer and following its kinetics (as opposed to the conventional ‘static’ approach, inject wait – image once). • After intravenous administration (norm...
