## Abstract In dynamic contrast‐enhanced MRI (DCE‐MRI) studies, an accurate knowledge of the arterial contrast agent concentration as a function of time is crucial for the estimation of kinetic parameters. In this work, a novel method for estimating the arterial input function (AIF) based on the co
The arterial input function is crucial in pharmacokinetic analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI data. Among other artifacts in arterial input function quantification, the blood inflow effect and nonideal radiofrequency spoiling can induce large measurement errors with subsequent reduction of acc
Gd-DTPA kinetics in arterial blood was investigated by dynamic MRI in 47 patients with malignant and benign mammary tumors. Signal enhancement was monitored for 10 min after the beginning of a 1-min infusion of 0.1 mmol/kg Gd-DTPA. Kinetics in blood was biexponential with median half-lives of 21 sec
## Abstract One of the most powerful features of the dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE) MRI technique is its capability to quantitatively measure the physiological or pathophysiological environments assessed by the passage of contrast agent by means of model‐based pharmacokinetic analysis. The widely
