Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this work is to investigate if the curve-fitting algorithm in Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced (DCE) MRI experiments influences the diagnostic quality of calculated parameter maps.

Conclusion

The Bayesian method has the potential to increase the diagnostic reliability of Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced parameter maps in brain tumors. In our data, images based on the 2-compartment-exchange model were superior to those based on the extended Toft’s model.
