We validated the feasibility of absolute regional
perfusion quantification by dynamic contrast-enhanced
magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) with k-space shared
sampling and a blood pool contrast agent in combination
with a two-compartment tracer kinetic model in
low-perfusion tissue. Seven female pigs were
investigated. An ultrasonic Doppler probe was attached
to the right femoral artery to determine the total flow
in the hind leg musculature. The overall flow of the
hind leg muscles, as measured by the ultrasound probe,
highly correlated with the total flow from the MRI
measurement, r = 0.89 and P=10^(-7).
