Reference region based modeling in DCE-MRI allows reliable therapy response monitoring despite drug induced systemic changes in a rat liver tumor model
Introduction: A persistent limitation in quantitative DCE-MRI is the difficulty of the simultaneous measurement of the arterial input function (AIF), and the CA concentration in the tumor tissue. The use of an AIF previously determined in a small population (population AIF (popAIF) model) or the concurrent measurement of CA uptake in a reference tissue (reference region (RR) model) are proposed...
متن کاملComparison of a reference region model with direct measurement of an AIF in the analysis of DCE-MRI data.
Models have been developed for analyzing dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI data that do not require measurements of the arterial input function (AIF). In this study, experimental results obtained from a reference region (RR) analysis are compared with results of an AIF analysis in the same set of five animals (four imaged twice, yielding nine data sets), returning estimates of the volume tran...
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 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...
متن کاملTumor Arterial Input Function (AIF) estimation in DCE-MRI studies using a multiple reference tissue method
C. Yang, W. M. Stadler, M. Medved, G. S. Karczmar University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States Introduction: Accurate estimation of the arterial input function (AIF) is essential for quantitative analysis of DCE-MRI data. We have previously demonstrated that a common AIF can be estimated from the contrast agent concentration versus time curves (Ct(t)) in two reference tissues with differen...
