PURPOSE
To propose a modified initial area under the uptake curve (mIAUC) dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI approach to achieve better distinction of underlying physiology.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The mIAUC is formulated on common characteristics of tissue contrast uptake curves observed over a wide range of physiological conditions. The new metrics, IAUC(Ktrans) and IAUC(ve), are related to ...
