Cerebral perfusion, also referred to as cerebral blood flow (CBF), is one of the most
important parameters related to brain physiology and function. The technique of dynamic …

Dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC‐MRI) is used to track the
first pass of an exogenous, paramagnetic, nondiffusible contrast agent through brain tissue …

MR perfusion imaging is becoming an increasingly common means of evaluating a variety of
cerebral pathologies, including tumors and ischemia. In particular, there has been great …

Blood microcirculation supplies neurons with oxygen and nutrients, and contributes to
clearing their neurotoxic waste, through a dense capillary network connected to larger tree …

When magnetic resonance (MR) imaging–based techniques for studying brain perfusion
were developed in the 1980s and 1990s, 1 one of the first pathologic conditions to which …

Dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI is the most commonly used MRI method to
