In this study, we present a simulation framework capable of generating synthetic reference perfusion MRI data suitable for evaluation and comparison of tracer kinetic models. The framework consists of a graph-based contrast agent flow model with a vascular geometry and allows for controlled simulations with realistic structural and vascular parameters. We demonstrate the potential application of the proposed framework by performing a comparison between traditional pharmacokinetic models of varying complexity, by studying the effect of ROI size.
