We have recently developed novel image processing and computational methods to characterize both the morphology and hemodynamics of tumor-associated vessels to assist in the diagnosis of suspicious breast lesions. In this contribution, we employ a dynamic digital phantom of contrast agent perfusion and extravasation to systematically evaluate the sensitivity of our methods to spatial resolution, temporal resolution, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The immediate goal is to use the phantom to determine an acquisition-reconstruction protocol that can implemented in the routine clinical setting, thereby enabling quantitative hemodynamic analysis to be widely available for the characterization of cancer.
