چکیده
Fig. 1 (a) Plots of Kinetic parameters (K, ve, kep, IAUC) vs. assumed baseline T1 when a true T1=800 ms with K trans = 0.5min, IAUC = 0.039 M⋅s, kep = 1.25 min , and ve = 0.4. (b) Plots of the normalized ratios (NR) of IAUC, kep, K trans and ve. True NRs are 0.77, 0.6, 0.5 and 0.125, respectively. The same true T1 (800 ms) was assumed for both preand post-treatment. Fig. 2. Effects caused by the change of baseline T1 due to the treatment. Plots of the normalized ratios (NR) of kep (a), K trans

Objective: Measurement of blood-brain permeability dysfunction in active and chronic MS lesions with T1-weighted dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI to show variation in inflammatory activity Background: blood-brain-barrier perfusion characterization impaired in MS as some studies have shown recently buta comparison between perfusion parameters in contrast-enhanced and non-enhanced lesions not have ...
متن کاملEffect of Bias in Contrast Agent Concentration Measurement on Estimated Pharmacokinetic Parameters in Brain Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies
Introduction: Pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is widely applied in tumor diagnosis and treatment evaluation. Precision analysis of the estimated PK parameters is essential when they are used as a measure for therapy evaluation or treatment planning. In this study, the accuracy of PK parameters in brain DCE...

متن کاملDynamic Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) and Diffusion Weighted MR Imaging (DWI) for Differentiation between Benign and Malignant Salivary Gland Tumors
Background: Salivary gland tumors form nearly 3% of head and neck tumors. Due to their large histological variety and vicinity to facial nerves, pre-operative diagnosis and differentiation of benign and malignant parotid tumors are a major challenge for radiologists. Objective: The majority of these tumors are benign; however, sometimes they tend to transform into a malignant form. Functional M...
متن کاملEnhanced perfusion measurement accuracy in DCE-MRI via improved baseline signal estimation
Introduction: Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE-) MRI plays an increasingly important role in evaluating tumor perfusion and permeability of the microvascular wall. A spoiled gradient echo sequence is used to measure T1 changes in tumor tissue and its arterial blood supply induced by the contrast agent. However, since TR is typically much shorter than T1 of blood (~1200ms) and tumor tissues (~500-...
