Phase-based Contrast Agent Concentration Measurement for Determination of Mouse Arterial Input Function
Introduction: Dynamic Contrast Enhanced (DCE) MRI and pharmacokinetic modeling have shown promise for imaging tumours based on tissue vascularity [1]. The volume transfer function between the plasma and interstitial space, K, can be determined based on measurements of contrast agent concentration time-courses in these spaces [2]. The results of DCE-MRI are believed to have clinical significance...
متن کاملMRI estimation of contrast agent concentration in tissue using a neural network approach.
Using an MRI T(1) by multiple readout pulses (TOMROP) image set, an adaptive neural network (ANN) was trained to directly estimate the concentration of a contrast agent (CA), gadolinium-bovine serum albumin (Gd-BSA), in tissue. In nine rats implanted with a 9L cerebral tumor, MRI acquisition of TOMROP inversion-recovery data was followed by quantitative autoradiography (QAR) using radioiodinate...
متن کاملOn Orthogonalization Approach to Construct a Multiple Input Transfer Function Model
In this article, a special type of orthogonalization is obtained to construct a multiple input transfer function model. By using this technique, construction of a transfer function model is divided to sequential construction of transfer function models with less input time series. Furthermore, based on real and simulated time series we provide an instruction to adequately perform the stages of ...
متن کاملIn vivo quantification of contrast agent concentration using the induced magnetic field for time-resolved arterial input function measurement with MRI.
For pharmacokinetic modeling of tissue physiology, there is great interest in measuring the arterial input function (AIF) from dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using paramagnetic contrast agents. Due to relaxation effects, the measured signal is a nonlinear function of the injected contrast agent concentration and depends on sequence parameters, system calibratio...
متن کاملTumor Arterial Input Function (AIF) estimation in DCE-MRI studies using a multiple reference tissue method
C. Yang, W. M. Stadler, M. Medved, G. S. Karczmar University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States Introduction: Accurate estimation of the arterial input function (AIF) is essential for quantitative analysis of DCE-MRI data. We have previously demonstrated that a common AIF can be estimated from the contrast agent concentration versus time curves (Ct(t)) in two reference tissues with differen...
