摘要: For bolus-tracking studies, it is commonly assumed that CR concentration bears a linear relationship with the measured (usually longitudinal) 1H2O relaxation rate constant, R*1 ≡(T1 *)–1. This requires equilibrium transcytolemmal water exchange be in fast limit (FXL). However, though systems remain exchange, FXL will not usually obtain. Here, consequences are considered: 1) measurement of R1 * itself can affected, 2) resultant non-linear [CR]-dependence causes significant error by assuming FXL, 3) thermodynamic [CR] (based on space which actually distributed) determined, 4) permeability may estimated, and 5) pharmacokinetic parameters factored. 30-sec, 0.17 mmol/kg dose GdDTPA2–, assumption underestimates maximum rat thigh muscle factor almost two. Similar results obtained for brain GS-9L gliosarcoma tumor model. Magn Reson Med 44:563–574, 2000. Published 2000 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
