Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging of tumor perfusion.

This work presents approaches and biomedical challenges of dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). DCE-MRI using small molecular weight gadolinium chelates enables noninvasive imaging characterization of tissue vascularity. Depending on the technique used, data reflecting tis...
