Modeling & Quantitative Analysis for Body DCE MRI

Room A6 07:00 – 08:00 Organizers & Moderators: Henry Rusinek and Min-Ying Lydia Su

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this course participants should be able to:

• 
  Describe various DCE models used for different organs including kidney, liver, breast, and prostate;
  
• 
  Describe analysis methods used to measure vascularity, permeability, and blood flow;
  
• 
  Implement Monte Carlo noise simulation method to predict parameter bias and precision;
  
• 
  Compare conventional compartmental kinetic models and distributed models;
  
• 
  Apply procedures for converting MRI signal intensity to tracer concentration; and
  
• 
  Explain current method for measuring vascular input function and analyzing its impact on obtained DCE parameters.
