The female reproductive uterus and ovary are among the few normal tissues to undergo periodic changes in angiogenesis. Using a primate model (rhesus macaque) we investigated the effects of temporal resolution on the precision and accuracy of Ktrans determination with the second-generation three-site water exchange DCE-MRI model.
