Given Dynamic-Contrast-Enhanced MRI data, accurate
estimation of Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters strongly
relies on appropriate selection of the best PK model to
fit the data. This study investigates the impact of
different classical and adaptive MS technique such as
F-Statistic (F-test), Akaike-Information-Criterion
(AIC), Bayesian-Information-Criterion (BIC),
Log-Likelihood-Ratio (LLR) and Artificial Neural Network
(ANN) on estimation of vascular permeability parameters.
Results imply that ANN generates significantly
less-biased estimates of PK parameters compared to other
techniques while both the LLR and BIC methods outperform
the other classical MS techniques, the ANN, LLR and BIC
are the best candidates for PK analysis of DCE-MRI data.
