The contribution presents a new method for estimation of
the arterial input function in dynamic contrast-enhanced
MRI. A new parametric AIF model is introduced and a new
blind multichannel deconvolution scheme is proposed. The
esimated AIF is then used to provide perfusion-parameter
maps. The method is evaluated on synthetic and real
mouse data.
