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...

in this regards first of all cross sectional anatomy of salivary glands and different diagnostic modalities such as ultrasound, cat scan, conventional mri and nuclear studies will be discussed. advanced mri modality such as dce (dynamic susceptibility enhanced) imaging will be introduced. then various pathologies of salivary glands including infectious, benign and malignant neoplastic processes...

Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) and dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the perfusion imaging techniques most frequently used to probe the angiogenic character of brain neoplasms. With these methods, T1- and T2/T2*-weighted imaging sequences are used to image the distribution of gadolinium (Gd)-based contrast agents. However, it is well known that Gd exhib...

Since the first studies in the late 1980s and early 1990s, dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI, also known as ‘bolus tracking’) has become a very powerful technique for the assessment of perfusion, and perfusion-related parameters (see (1,2) for recent reviews). Despite the need of an exogenous MR agent (cf. arterial spin labeling techniques), DSC-MRI is currently the most common MR pe...
