Estimating kinetic parameter maps from dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI using spatial prior knowledge

Estimating kinetic parameter maps from dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI using spatial prior knowledge

Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (DCE-MR) imaging can be used to study microvascular structure in vivo by monitoring the abundance of an injected diffusible contrast agent over time. The resulting spatially resolved intensity-time curves are usually interpreted in terms of kinetic parame...
