## Abstract ## Purpose To test the repeatability of a reference region (RR) model for the analysis of dynamic contrast‐enhanced MRI (DCE‐MRI) in a mouse model of cancer at high field. ## Materials and Methods Seven mice were injected with 10^6^ 4T1 mammary carcinoma cells and imaged eight to 10

## Abstract 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
In dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging (DCE-MRI), sampling of the arterial input function (AIF) is required for analysis using the general kinetic model (GKM). Alternatively, the recently proposed reference region model (RRM) may be employed to avoid the need of acquiring the AIF. This study aimed
## Abstract The Tofts model (TM) and extended Tofts model (ETM) have become a standard for the analysis of dynamic contrast‐enhanced MRI. In this study, a mathematical analysis is used to identify exactly in which tissue types the Tofts models may be applied. The results show that the TM is accurat
## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate and compare the reproducibility of the preferred phenomenological parameter IAUC~60~ (initial area under the time‐concentration curve [IAUC] defined over the first 60 seconds postenhancement) with the preferred modeling parameter (__K__^trans^), as derived using
