The
accuracy of Arterial Input Function and tissue response curve calculation in
Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI and Pharmacokinetic Analysis can be improved by
calculating T1-maps after contrast administration and dynamic acquisition.
The resulting T1-fits have lower standard deviation and a higher
signal-to-noise ratio which translates linearly to improved concentration
curve estimation.
