Bolus dispersion can be a significant source of error in
estimation of both perfusion and tissue residue function
in DSC-MRI. In this study the recently proposed
non-parametric CPI method was extended with
dispersion-kernel (DK) to address dispersion effects.
Three DKs were evaluated to identify the appropriate
model for dispersion in-vivo. The performance of the
proposed approach was assessed using simulations.
In-vivo data from a patient with arteriosclerotic
disease was also analysed. Addition of a DK in perfusion
analysis was found to be useful both in simulations and
in-vivo, but with no consistent benefit of one DK over
other was observed.
