Abstract

Purpose

To develop a numerical approach for estimation of vascular permeability from dynamic T2*‐weighted imaging, a technique routinely used to measure cerebral blood volume (CBV) and flow in gliomas.

Materials and Methods

This study describes a process for estimating both the gadolinium diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd‐DTPA) transvascular transfer constant and CBV from dynamic T2*‐weighted images. The algorithm was applied to data from the brains of 12 patients with grade IV gliomas. The stability of the method was assessed. Estimates of CBV by this technique were compared to those of the conventional method.

Results

The algorithm was found to be insensitive to noise and to generate stable voxel‐by‐voxel estimates of permeability and CBV.

Conclusion

Using a single imaging acquisition, the three most important vascular properties, CBV, cerebral blood flow (CBF), and permeability, can be estimated. This approach may have potential in clinical evaluation of patients with brain tumor or acute ischemic stroke. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2006. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

To understand whether the NO-dependent vasodilator L-arginine was effective upon a chronically hypertensive cerebral capillary endothelium, dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI was used to measure the relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) changes in nonischemic spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs).
