## Abstract In previous papers relative signal intensity increase was used as a quantitative assessment parameter for contrast uptake in contrastenhanced MRI. However, relative signal intensity increase does not only reflect contrast uptake but depends also on tissue parameters (native __T__~1~ rel

## Abstract The accuracy and precision of two major approaches for analyzing dynamic MRI data from the first passage of a Gd‐DTPA contrast bolus are examined, using a Monte Carlo simulation. Method 1 fits the contrast concentration curve of the first pass to a two‐compartment kinetic model to deter
## Abstract Bone metastases of 16 prostate cancer patients were scanned twice 1 week apart by dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) –MRI at 2‐s resolution using a two‐dimensional gradient‐echo pulse sequence. With a multiple reference tissue method (MRTM), the local tissue arterial input function (AIF) w
## Abstract In this work, we present a new method for predicting changes in tumor vascularity using only one flip angle in dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE) imaging. The usual DCE approach finds the tissue initial __T__~1~ value __T__~1~(0) prior to injection of a contrast agent. We propose finding c
## Abstract The structures of polydisulfide‐based biodegradable macromolecular Gd(III) complexes were modified to improve their in vivo retention time and MRI contrast enhancement. Steric hindrance was introduced around the disulfide bonds to control their access to free thiols in order to alter th
