## Abstract One of the most powerful features of the dynamic contrastโenhanced (DCE) MRI technique is its capability to quantitatively measure the physiological or pathophysiological environments assessed by the passage of contrast agent by means of modelโbased pharmacokinetic analysis. The widely
Gd-DTPA kinetics in arterial blood was investigated by dynamic MRI in 47 patients with malignant and benign mammary tumors. Signal enhancement was monitored for 10 min after the beginning of a 1-min infusion of 0.1 mmol/kg Gd-DTPA. Kinetics in blood was biexponential with median half-lives of 21 sec
## Abstract A major potential confound in axial 3D dynamic contrastโenhanced magnetic resonance imaging studies is the blood inflow effect; therefore, the choice of slice location for arterial input function measurement within the imaging volume must be considered carefully. The objective of this s
## Abstract Quantification of dynamic contrastโenhanced (DCE) MRI based on pharmacokinetic modeling requires specification of the arterial input function (AIF). A full representation of the plasma concentration data, including the initial rise and decay parts, considering the delay and dispersion o
