Quantification of Contrast Kinetics in Clinical Imaging
Mischi, Massimo / Turco, Simona / Schoots, Ivo / Ten Cate, Folkert J. / Wijkstra, Hessel / Soliman, Osama I.
This book provides a comprehensive survey of the pharmacokinetic models used for the quantitative interpretation of contrast-enhanced imaging. It discusses all the available imaging technologies and the problems related to the calibration of the imaging system and accuracy of the estimated physiological parameters. Enhancing imaging modalities using contrast agents has opened up new opportunities for going beyond morphological information and ...
