Effects of bolus injection duration on perfusion estimates in dynamic CT and dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI.

ABSTRACT: Estimates of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and tissue mean transit time (MTT) have been shown to differ between dynamic CT perfusion (CTP) and dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI). This study investigates whether these discrepancies regarding CBF and MTT between CTP and DSC-MRI can be attributed to the different injection durations of these techniques. Five subjects were scanned using CTP and DSC-MRI. Region-wise estimates of CBF, MTT, and cerebral blood volume (CBV) were derived based on oscillatory index regularized singular value decomposition. A parametric model that reproduced the shape of measured time curves and characteristics of resulting perfusion parameter estimates was developed and used to simulate data with injection durations typical for CTP and DSC-MRI for a clinically
