## 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 The feasibility of improving myocardial/blood pool contrast in MR cine images through use of an intravascular contrast agent (Ferumoxtran, Advanced Magnetics, Inc., Cambridge, MA) was tested in four subjects. The contrastβtoβnoise ratio (CNR) demonstrated a trend toward improvement in t
## Abstract Phaseβcontrast (PC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) flow measurements suffer from the effect of the point spread function (PSF) due to the limited sampling of __k__βspace. The PSF, which in this case is a __sinc__ function, deforms the flow profile and forms a ringing pattern around th
