Reliable estimation of capillary transit time
distribution (TTD) and transit time heterogeneity (CTH)
has been questioned in literature. With CPI it is
possible to evaluate the variations in TTD in vivo. The
results from our analysis in 17 patients with carotid
atherosclerotic disease imaged both before and after CEA
showed that under the currently used standard DSC-MRI
imaging protocol more than 80% of the pathophysiological
variability in the data can be explained with only one
component.
