This work investigates the use of mDIXON Quant as a perfusion technique to acquire dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) and dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) scans in a single acquisition. The use of multi-echo mDIXON Quant for assessment of perfusion can be used to eliminate the need for split dosing and allows for acquiring DCE and DSC in a single acquisition. Elimination of a split contrast dose will remove contamination from changes in T1, T2, and T2*. This technique can potentially simplify the workflow for the DCE- based perfusion MRI imaging and reduce overall scan time.
