Comparison of model-based arterial input functions for dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI in tumor bearing rats.

abstract：PURPOSE:Multi-slice radiofrequency (RF) pulses have higher specific absorption rates, more peak RF power, and longer pulse durations than single-slice RF pulses. Gradient field design techniques using a z-gradient array are investigated for exciting multiple slices with a single-band RF pulse. THEORY AND METHODS:Two d...
