Though widely adopted for brain perfusion measurement,
Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast (DSC) Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI) with low molecular weight Gadolinium (Gd)
contrast reagent (CR) is often confounded by CRs
leakage into intersitium space. Based on pharmacokinetic
first principles, we demonstrate a fast leakage
correction method similar to that of the Patlak plot.
This linearization approach uniquely identifies the
leakage rate constant and significantly simplifies
relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) quantification.
