Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) pharmacokinetic modeling is widely used to extract tissue specific quantitative parameters. However, the accuracy and precision of these parameters can be affected by many factors, with arterial input function (AIF) determination being a primary source of uncertainties. In this multicenter study, we sought to evaluate variations in DCE-MRI parameters estimated from shared prostate DCE-MRI data as a result of differences in AIFs.
