MR multitasking-based dynamic imaging for cerebrovascular evaluation (MT-DICE): Simultaneous quantification of permeability and leakage-insensitive perfusion by dynamic T 1 / T 2 * mapping.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To develop an MR multitasking-based dynamic imaging for cerebrovascular evaluation (MT-DICE) technique for simultaneous quantification of permeability and leakage-insensitive perfusion with a single-dose contrast injection.

Methods

MT-DICE builds on a saturation-recovery prepared multi-echo fast low-angle shot sequence. The k-space is randomly sampled for 7.6 min, with single-dose contrast agent injected 1.5 min into the scan. MR multitasking is used to model the data into six dimensions, including three spatial dimensions for whole-brain coverage, a saturation-recovery time dimension, and a TE dimension for dynamic T 1 $$ {\mathrm{T}}_1 $$ and T 2 * $$ {\mathrm{T}}_2^{\ast } $$ quantification, respectively, and a contrast dynamics dimension for capturing con
