Purpose: To develop and test a nonlocal means-based reconstruction algorithm for undersampled 3D dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of tumors. ## Materials and Methods: We propose a reconstruction technique that is based on the recently proposed nonlocal means (NLM)

## Abstract Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of dynamic contrastโenhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) describing pulmonary perfusion. However, breathing motion, susceptibility artifacts, and a low signalโtoโnoise ratio (SNR) make automatic pixelโbyโpixel analysis difficult. In th
## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a combination of dynamic contrastโenhanced MR imaging (DCEโMRI) and diffusionโweighted MR imaging (DWI) in characterization of enhanced mass on breast MR imaging and to find the strongest discriminators between carcinoma and benignancy.
