Influence of arterial input function on hypoperfusion volumes measured with perfusion-weighted imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The arterial input function (AIF) is critical in determining hemodynamic parameters quantitatively with bolus-tracking MRI. We studied the effect of varying the location of measurement of AIF on the volume of hypoperfusion. We compared the volumes of hypoperfusion obtained with different AIFs with the final ischemic lesion volume. METHODS We included 13 patients with ac...
متن کاملInfluence of the Arterial Input Function on Absolute and Relative Perfusion-Weighted Imaging Penumbral Flow Detection
Background and Purpose—Perfusion-weighted imaging maps are used to identify critical hypoperfusion in acute stroke. However, quantification of perfusion may depend on the choice of the arterial input function (AIF). Using quantitative positron emission tomography we evaluated the influence of the AIF location on maps of absolute and relative perfusion-weighted imaging to detect penumbral flow (...
متن کاملQuantitative myocardial perfusion imaging using a step arterial-input function
Background Modern MRI myocardial perfusion protocols use rapid venous bolus injections, typically 3-5 ml/s of 5-15 ml of agent over a few seconds. The resulting arterial input functions are rapidly varying with high agent concentrations (Fig. 1A and 1B) and thus typically require high temporal resolution acquisitions (~1 sec), custom pulse sequences and complex processing methods for perfusion ...
متن کاملAutomated method for generating the arterial input function on perfusion-weighted MR imaging: validation in patients with stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The choice of arterial input function (AIF) can have a profound effect on the blood flow maps generated on perfusion-weighted MR imaging (PWI). Automation of this process could substantially reduce operator dependency, increase consistency, and accelerate PWI analysis. We created an automated AIF identification program (auto-AIF) and validated its performance against conv...
متن کاملPerfusion-weighted MR imaging studies in brain hypervascular diseases: comparison of arterial input function extractions for perfusion measurement.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Brain hypervascular diseases are complex and induce hemodynamic disturbances on brain parenchyma, which are difficult to accurately evaluate by using perfusion-weighted (PWI) MR imaging. Our purpose was to test and to assess the best AIF estimation method among 4 patients with brain hypervascular disease and healthy volunteers. METHODS Thirty-three patients and 10 healt...
