An Efficient Framework for Accurate Arterial Input Selection in DSC-MRI of Glioma Brain Tumors
Introduction: Automatic arterial input function (AIF) selection has an essential role in quantification of cerebral perfusion parameters. The purpose of this study is to develop an optimal automatic method for AIF determination in dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI) of glioma brain tumors by using a new preprocessing method.Material and Methods: For this study, ...
متن کاملQuantitative myocardial perfusion imaging using a step arterial-input function
Background Modern MRI myocardial perfusion protocols use rapid venous bolus injections, typically 3-5 ml/s of 5-15 ml of agent over a few seconds. The resulting arterial input functions are rapidly varying with high agent concentrations (Fig. 1A and 1B) and thus typically require high temporal resolution acquisitions (~1 sec), custom pulse sequences and complex processing methods for perfusion ...
متن کاملLimitations of a multiplicative correction of partial volume effects on the arterial input function in bolus-tracking perfusion
Introduction: Quantification of cerebral blood flow (CBF) using bolus-tracking MRI is critically dependent on correct determination of the arterial input function (AIF) (1,2). The AIF is the concentration of tracer which enters the brain as a function of time. It is sampled in a supplying artery, which is often subject to a partial volume effect (PVE) due to the limited spatial resolution resul...
متن کاملQuantification Issues in Bolus-Tracking Perfusion MRI
Bolus-tracking perfusion MRI is based on the monitoring of the first passage of a bolus of contrast agent through the brain tissue and a brain-feeding artery. The contrast agent is injected rapidly in the antecubital vein in the patients arm by means of an MR-compatible power injector. This bolus of contrast agent is pushed in the direction of the heart by means of a saline flush. Continuous dy...
متن کاملThree slice myocardial coverage using non-ECG-triggered perfusion imaging with integrated T1 mapping for quantifying myocardial blood flow
Background A single-bolus non-ECG-triggered method was previously proposed to reduce the complexity of quantitative myocardial perfusion imaging [1]. Compared to conventional dual-bolus method, the arterial input function (AIF) is derived from imaging data, eliminating the need for an additional scan. The imaging workflow is further simplified by retrospectively determining the proper reconstru...
