## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate a dualβbolus approach to pulmonary perfusion MRI. ## Materials and Methods The dualβbolus approach uses a separate lowβdose measurement for the arterial input function (AIF) to ensure linearity. The measured AIF is constructed according to a subsequent higher d

## Abstract ## Purpose To assess whether dynamic contrastβenhanced (DCE) MRI timing bolus data from routine clinical examinations can be postprocessed to obtain hepatic perfusion parameters for diagnosing cirrhosis. ## Materials and Methods We retrospectively identified 57 patients (22 with cirr
## 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 ## Purpose To examine the sensitivity of quantitative dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCEβMRI) perfusion maps to errors in the various source images and to determine optimal imaging parameters for reducing this sensitivity. ## Materials and Methods A detailed analysis of the precision
## Abstract Quantification of hepatic perfusion parameters greatly contributes to the assessment of liver function. The purpose of this study was to describe and validate the use of dynamic MRI for the noninvasive assessment of hepatic perfusion parameters. The signal from a fast __T__~1~βweighted
