Background MRI is not able to directly measure the concentration of contrast agent. It is
measured indirectly from the signal intensity (SI). It is very important to know how much …

The present study was an attempt to investigate the effect of variation of inversion time (TI)
and saturation time (TS) on the linear relationship between contrast agent concentration and …

Background/Objective: The relaxation time T1 depends on the concentration of
paramagnetic contrast agent. To calculate perfusion parameters from dynamic contrast …

Previous studies have shown that the organ blood flow (OBF) calculated from the T 1-
weighted MRI technique was lower than expected. The inflow correction was one of the …

Contrast-enhanced fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) is one of the MRI sequences
that can be used for detection and evaluation of pathological changes in the brain. In this …

Background: Inversion recovery (IR) pulse sequences can generate T1-weighted images
with a different range of inversion time (TI) to suppress or null the signal intensity (SI) for a …

Background/Objective: A dynamic contrast-enhanced T1 technique has been applied for
calculating cerebral blood flow (CBF) with MRI. Previous studies have shown that the CBF …

Background: Two common acquisition strategies in MRI are CENTRE OUT PHASE-
ENCODING (COPE) and LINEAR PHASE-ENCODING (LPE). Purpose: The objectives of this …

Abstract Background and Objectives: It is important to know how much contrast agent should
be used to receive the maximum signal intensity (SI). The aim of this study was to investigate …

Abstract Background and Objectives: Determination of maximum injected contrast agent
leading to maximum signal intensity (SI) is of great importance in magnetic resonance …
