DSC-MR imaging

Effects of MRI Protocol Parameters, Preload Injection Dose, Fractionation Strategies, and Leakage Correction Algorithms on the Fidelity of Dynamic-Susceptibility Contrast MRI Estimates of Relative Cerebral Blood Volume in Gliomas

Jeffrey Ross Brain, Fellows' Journal Club

Fellows’ Journal Club The authors used DSC-MR imaging simulations to examine the influence of various acquisition parameters and leakage-correction strategies on the faithful estimation of CBV. Optimal strategies were determined by protocol with the lowest mean error. They conclude that

Evaluation of Encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis Efficacy Using Probabilistic Independent Component Analysis Applied to Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast Perfusion MRI

Jeffrey Ross Brain, Editor's Choices

Editor’s Choice In this prospective study, 13 patients underwent unilateral indirect cerebral revascularization and DSC-MR imaging before and after surgery. Conventional perfusion parameters (relative CBV, relative CBF, and TTP) and probabilistic independent components that reflect the relative contributions of DSC
