Perfusion: DSC & DCE Basics & Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
The basic concept of a tracer-kinetic experiment dates back to the 1920's [1]: an indicator is injected rapidly in the blood stream and its concentration in the tissue of interest (mmol/ml tissue) is measured as a function of time. The precise shape and form of these curves depends on the manner in which the agent is injected, and on the properties of the tissue under consideration. If the injection-profile is known from a separate measurement, tissue-characteristic parameters can be extracted from the time-curves.

Perfusion : DSC & DCE Basics & Analysis
Introduction Perfusion is the term applied to capillary blood flow in tissue. Since the blood carries oxygen and nutrition to the tissue through the capillaries, perfusion is important in maintaining tissue viability. The study of brain perfusion has clinical applications due to the changes in perfusion associated with several neurological diseases. Diagnosis, lesion characterisation and follow...
متن کاملAssessment of the Agreement between Cerebral Hemodynamic Indices Quantified Using Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast and Dynamic Contrast-enhanced Perfusion Magnetic Resonance Imagings
Background Brain tumor is one of the most common tumors. A successful treatment might be achieved with an early identification. Pathological investigation as the gold standard method for tumor identification has some limitations. Noninvasive assessment of tumor specifications may be possible using perfusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cerebral blood volume (CBV) and cerebral bloo...
متن کاملSpiral Perfusion Imaging With Consecutive Echoes (SPICE™) for the Simultaneous Mapping of DSC- and DCE-MRI Parameters in Brain Tumor Patients: Theory and Initial Feasibility
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...
متن کاملComparison of DCE-MRI and Dual Echo DSC-MRI Derived Measures of K and ve
Introduction: DSC-MRI data from tumors may be confounded by the extravasation of contrast agent (CA) into the extravascular extracellular space (EES), which results in simultaneous changes in the EES T1 and T2*. It is well known that dual-echo acquisitions can eliminate the T1 leakage effects, but we recently demonstrated that such data, when combined with a pre-contrast T1 map, can also be use...
متن کاملUninterpretable Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast-Enhanced Perfusion MR Images in Patients with Post-Treatment Glioblastomas: Cross-Validation of Alternative Imaging Options
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) perfusion MR imaging for distinguishing tumor recurrence from post-treatment effect as alternatives to dynamic-susceptibility contrast-enhanced (DSC) perfusion MR imaging when the DSC image is uninterpretable. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study was...
