Reproducibility of Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI in Renal Cell Carcinoma
The objective of this study was to investigate the intra- and interobserver as well as scan-rescan reproducibility of quantitative parameters of renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) with dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). A total of 21 patients with clear cell RCCs (17 men, 4 woman; age 37-69 years, mean age 54.6 years, mean size, 5.0 ± 2.2 cm) were prospectively recruited ...
متن کاملQuantitative Estimation of Renal Function with Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI Using a Modified Two-Compartment Model
OBJECTIVE To establish a simple two-compartment model for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal plasma flow (RPF) estimations by dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of eight New Zealand white rabbits were included in DCE-MRI. The two-compartment model was modified with the impulse residue function in this study. First, the reliabi...
متن کاملValidation of Registration for Renal Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI Imaging
In Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI), abdomen is scanned repeatedly and rapidly after injection of a contrast agent. During data acquisition, collected images suffer from the motion induced by the patient if he/she moves or breathes heavily during the scan. Therefore, these images should be aligned accurately to correct the motion. Recently, mutual information (MI) registrat...
متن کاملDynamic contrast-enhanced MRI measurement of renal function in healthy participants.
Background High repeatability, accuracy, and precision for renal function measurements need to be achieved to establish renal dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) as a clinically useful diagnostic tool. Purpose To investigate the repeatability, accuracy, and precision of DCE-MRI measured renal perfusion and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using iohexol-GFR as the refe...
متن کاملDynamic contrast-enhanced quantitative susceptibility mapping with ultrashort echo time MRI for evaluating renal function.
Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI can provide key insight into renal function. DCE MRI is typically achieved through an injection of a gadolinium (Gd)-based contrast agent, which has desirable T1 quenching and tracer kinetics. However, significant T2* blooming effects and signal voids can arise when Gd becomes very concentrated, especially in the renal medulla and pelvis. One MRI sequence des...
