Partial volume
effects (PVE) can significantly affect parameter estimates in perfusion MRI. In
contrast to arterial spin labeling (ASL), the impact of PVEs in dynamic
susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI) has not yet been well established. In
this work, we assess and compare partial volume correction (PVC) of DSC-MRI and
ASL data in 20 healthy subjects. PVC reduced the tissue volume dependence of
perfusion estimates in DSC-MRI and ASL. White matter perfusion maps were of
higher quality for DSC-MRI. However, for PVC of DSC-MRI we used several assumptions which need further evaluation.
