A population-based AIF for quantitative DCE-MRI of the rat abdomen acquired using dynamic high temporally and spatially resolved CT
Introduction Quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI is a widely used technique for studies of tumor progress and viability. The method requires knowledge of the arterial plasma concentration of the contrast agent (CA) in the vessels feeding the tissue of interest. This arterial input function (AIF) must be sampled with a high temporal and spatial resolution to enable stable pharmacoki...
متن کاملT1 measurement of flowing blood and arterial input function determination for quantitative 3D T1-weighted DCE-MRI.
PURPOSE To propose a simple, accurate method for measuring T(1) in flowing blood and the arterial input function (AIF), and to evaluate the impact on dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) quantification of pharmacokinetic parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 10 rabbits were scanned at 1.5 Tesla and administered a bolus of Gadomer. Preinjection T(1) and AIF measurements were acquired...
متن کاملComparison between MRI Blood-to-Brain Transfer Rate Constants from Individual MRI and Population Averaged Quantitative Autoradiographic Arterial Input Functions
Introduction: An arterial input function (AIF), plasma concentration versus time curve, for an MR contrast agent (MRCA) is used to estimate the blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeability of microvessels and several other vascular related parameters. In dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), an intravenous step-down infusion (SDI) procedure that maintains a constant gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepe...
متن کاملAutomatic Prostate Cancer Segmentation Using Kinetic Analysis in Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI
Background: Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) provides functional information on the microcirculation in tissues by analyzing the enhancement kinetics which can be used as biomarkers for prostate lesions detection and characterization.Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate spatiotemporal patterns of tumors by extracting semi-quantitative as well as w...
متن کاملThe Impact of Arterial Input Function Determination Variations on Prostate Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging Pharmacokinetic Modeling: A Multicenter Data Analysis Challenge.
Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) has been widely used in tumor detection and therapy response evaluation. Pharmacokinetic analysis of DCE-MRI time-course data allows estimation of quantitative imaging biomarkers such as Ktrans(rate constant for plasma/interstitium contrast reagent (CR) transfer) and ve (extravascular and extracellular volume fraction). However, the use of quantitative DC...
