摘要: Abstract The accurate mapping of the tumor blood volume (TBV) fraction (vb) is a highly desired imaging biometric goal. It commonly thought that achieving this difficult, if not impossible, when small molecule contrast reagents (CRs) are used for T1-weighted (Dynamic-Contrast-Enhanced) DCE-MRI technique. This because angiogenic malignant vessels allow facile CR extravasation. Here, three-site equilibrium water exchange model applied to data from cerebrally-implanted rat brain U87 glioma, exhibiting rapid Analyses segments (and entire) DCE time-course with “shutter-speed” pharmacokinetic model, which admits finite kinetics, TBV estimation first-pass segment. Pairwise parameter determinances were tested grid searches 2D parametric error surfaces. Tumor (vb), as well ve (the extracellular, extravascular space fraction), and Ktrans (a extravasation rate measure) maps presented. role Patlak Plot in also considered.
