Bayesian modeling of Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI data in cerebral glioma patients improves the diagnostic quality of hemodynamic parameter maps.

PURPOSE:The purpose of this work is to investigate if the curve-fitting algorithm in Dynamic Contrast Enhanced (DCE) MRI experiments influences the diagnostic quality of calculated parameter maps. MATERIAL AND METHODS:We compared the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) and a Bayesian method (BM) in DCE data of...
