To prevent systematic errors in quantitative brain perfusion studies using dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI), a reliable determination of the arterial input function (AIF) is essential. We propose a novel algorithm for correcting distortions of the AIF cau

## Abstract Dynamic susceptibility contrastβMRI requires an arterial input function (AIF) to obtain cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume, and mean transit time. The current AIF selection criteria discriminate venous, capillary, and arterial profiles based on shape and timing characteristics o
## Abstract One of the most powerful features of the dynamic contrastβenhanced (DCE) MRI technique is its capability to quantitatively measure the physiological or pathophysiological environments assessed by the passage of contrast agent by means of modelβbased pharmacokinetic analysis. The widely
