In Dynamic Contrast Enhanced (DCE) MRI, pharmaco-kinetic
(PK) maps are derived from the dynamic image series and
are used for diagnostic purposes. Direct estimation of
PK parameter maps could enable high acceleration rate
and save resources required to estimate intermediate
images. Here we present a framework to directly estimate
PK parameters using a forward model and sparsity
constraint, and evaluate this method at very high
acceleration rates up to 100x, to demonstrate
feasibility.
