For dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI studies in the human brain, it is useful to measure the venous output function (VOF). The purpose of this work was to explore the feasibility of measuring the VOF using the MR signal phase (in absolute units of gadolinium concentration) in the superior sagittal sinu

## Abstract Cine MRI is used for assessing cardiac function and flow and is typically based on a breathβheld, segmented data acquisition. Breath holding is particularly difficult for patients with congestive heart failure or in pediatric cases. Realβtime imaging may be used without breath holding o
The equation for the calculation of mean residence time of drug in plasma, t(p), is obtained. It is shown that the previously suggested calculation of t(p) considerably overestimates the true value in most cases. It is suggested that due to the possible initial (before establishing the uniform drug
