In previous work we reported a novel DCE-MRI test object
of simple and affordable design, which can create
reproducible uptake curves. In this work we demonstrate
that it is possible to derive a series of simple, smooth
transfer functions which describe the evolution of the
contrast agent uptake curve along the dynamic test
object. Furthermore, the derived transfer functions were
validated: they were able to predict the experimental
curves at different locations within the test object in
a series of experiments with different input functions.
