Contrast-enhanced MRI of brown adipose tissue after pharmacological stimulation.

abstract：PURPOSE:Quantitative evaluation of dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) allows for estimating perfusion, vessel permeability, and tissue volume fractions by fitting signal intensity curves to pharmacokinetic models. These compart mental models assume rapid equilibration of contrast agent within each voxel. However, ...
