Assessing Antiangiogenic Therapy Response by DCE-MRI: Development of a Physiology Driven Multi-Compartment Model Using Population Pharmacometrics
Dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE-) MRI is commonly applied for the monitoring of antiangiogenic therapy in oncology. Established pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis methods of DCE-MRI data do not sufficiently reflect the complex anatomical and physiological constituents of the analyzed tissue. Hence, accepted endpoints such as Ktrans reflect an unknown multitude of local and global physiological effect...
متن کاملAutomatic Prostate Cancer Segmentation Using Kinetic Analysis in Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI
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...
متن کاملA Bayesian framework for pharmacokinetic modelling in dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance cancer imaging
Dynamic contrast-enhanced resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) plays an important role in oncology. During a number of scans, a contrast agent, usually a Gadolinium complex like gadopentate (Gd-DTPA) is injected into the patient. DCE-MRI scans show the flow of the contrast agent, and therefore the blood flow, between vascular space and extracellular extravascular space (EES), since the contrast agent is...
متن کاملbelief function and the transferable belief model
Beliefs are the result of uncertainty. Sometimes uncertainty is because of a random process and sometimes the result of lack of information. In the past, the only solution in situations of uncertainty has been the probability theory. But the past few decades, various theories of other variables and systems are put forward for the systems with no adequate and accurate information. One of these a...
متن کاملCharacteristics and reproducibility of the arterial input function (AIF) derived from dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) studies and its effect on renal functional parameters
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate parameters of the aortic input function (AIF) in dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the kidney and its effect on renal functional parameters (perfusion and glomerular filtration rate) calculated using a two-compartment model analysis. Inter-observer agreement, effect of size of region of interest (ROI) in the aor...
