In
this study, we presented a new quantitative TRIP-MRI perfusion analysis
approach, and evaluated its efficacy in a gel perfusion phantom and in
rabbits with VX2 liver tumors during TAE. Our results successfully evaluated
the efficacy of this proposed perfusion analysis method for TRIP-MRI datasets
in the perfusion phantom, and demonstrated the use of quantitative TRIP-MRI
to monitor reductions in liver tumor perfusion during TAE.
