## Abstract Animal studies have shown that in vivo estimates of microvessel density in the brain may be obtained from an MRI‐measurable index (__Q__) provided that a sufficiently high dose of an intravascular paramagnetic contrast agent is employed. __Q__ is determined from the shifts in the transv

## Abstract Gradient‐refocused echo‐planar magnetic resonance (MR) images (TE = 18 msec) were acquired in rats during bolus injection of iron oxide particles, and the first pass of the contrast agent through the brain was monitored. In control rats, contrast agent (0.1 mmol/kg iron) produced signif
Dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in tumors is restricted by relaxivity effects, which may obscure any abnormality of first-pass kinetics in the re-circulation phase. The purposes of this study were a) to document the magnitude of relaxivity effects with a vari
## Abstract An accurate determination of the arterial input function (AIF) is necessary for quantification of cerebral blood flow (CBF) using dynamic susceptibility contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. In this study, we developed a method for obtaining the AIF automatically using fuzzy c‐m
