Perfusion MR imaging (i.e. DCE, DSC) has evolved as an increasingly common modality for evaluating a variety of cerebrovascular diseases, such as stroke and brain tumors, and susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) is suitable for detection of intracranial hemorrhage. In this work, we developed an MR MultiTasking based Dynamic Imaging for Cerebrovascular Evaluation (MT-DICE) technique that can provide DCE, DSC and SWI information simultaneously with one 8-minute scan and a single contrast agent injection. Feasibility of MT-DICE was demonstrated in healthy volunteers and patients with hemorrhagic stroke or brain cancer.
