The arterial input function is an important input
parameter for modelling DCE-MRI data. However, it is
difficult to measure accurately in mice. A
projection-based method can significantly improve the
temporal resolution of the AIF, but may be biased due to
local tissue enhancement. This simulation study extends
the Cartesian projection-based method to a radial
approach: Each projection serves as a single time-point
measure of the AIF, but is also used to reconstruct a
radial image to assess background tissue enhancement.
The results show that an AIF, measured from single
projections, can be corrected from a time-series of
radial images to remove the bias caused from local
tissue enhancement.
