The Tofts model is commonly used to parameterize tissue
perfusion, vessel permeability, extracellular
extravascular space and vascular volume. However, these
quantities are difficult to confirm independently. Here,
we propose using intravital microscopy to monitor the
extravasation of a fluorescent contrast agent, and its
accumulation in the cortex of live animals. We compare
our fluorescence imaging measurements with classic
DCE-MRI pharmacokinetic modeling results.
