The reference region model allows quantification of tumour perfusion through DCE-MRI without needing an arterial input function. One limitation is that the model does not account for plasma volume which could be non-negligible in highly vascularized tissues such as tumours. This study introduces a reference region model that accounts for the plasma volume. The performance of this model is evaluated in simulation and invivo data.
