ROBUST ESTIMATION OF PHARMACOKINETIC PARAMETERS IN DCE-MRI ANALYSIS OF RECTAL TUMOURS

Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI is a powerful tool for assessing tumour vasculature and for predicting patient response to therapy. DCE-MRI data can be quantified using pharmacokinetic models, allowing extraction of physiologically meaningful parameters. However, in clinical scans of rectal tumo...
