## Abstract For clinical dynamic contrastβenhanced (DCE) MRI studies, it is often not possible to obtain reliable arterial input function (AIF) in each measurement. Thus, it is important to find a representative AIF for pharmacokinetic modeling of DCEβMRI data when individual AIF (IndβAIF) measurem

## Abstract In dynamic contrastβenhanced MRI (DCEβMRI) studies, an accurate knowledge of the arterial contrast agent concentration as a function of time is crucial for the estimation of kinetic parameters. In this work, a novel method for estimating the arterial input function (AIF) based on the co
## Abstract ## Purpose To validate a new method for converting MR arterial signal intensity versus time curves to arterial input functions (AIFs). ## Materials and Methods The method constrains AIF with patient's cardiac output (Q). Monte Carlo simulations of MR renography and tumor perfusion pr
## Abstract Dynamic susceptibility contrastβMRI requires an arterial input function (AIF) to obtain cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume, and mean transit time. The current AIF selection criteria discriminate venous, capillary, and arterial profiles based on shape and timing characteristics o
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
