At any time point, the tissue concentration of contrast material is equivalent to the sum of the intravascular and extravascular concentrations of contrast material as denoted by the following equation: where C(t) is the concentration of contrast material within the tissue, CBV is the cerebral blood volume, C A(t) is the concentration of contrast material in blood (the arterial input function AIF) and K Trans is the volume transfer constant [29]; ∆t describes the time it takes the input function to travel to the tissue voxel; ∆t is determined automatically by cross correlation analysis of the AIF with the voxel TAC separately for every voxel.\nDividing the equation by C A(t) produces the linear relationship\nBy fitting a straight line to the data points, K Trans can be derived from the slope of this line and CBV from the intercept.\nK Trans describes the portion of blood flow F that is extracted into the extravascular space, i.e. K Trans = E ∙ F, with the extraction fraction E (EK1), which is defined as\nPS is the permeability–surface area product and Hct the haematocrit value.\nNote that we define K Trans with respect to whole blood flow, while in MR perfusion imaging it is typically defined with respect to plasma flow: K Trans = K Trans(MRI)/(1 − Hct).\nFrom these relationships it can be derived that for tumours which are well perfused, K Trans(1 − Hct) is approximately equal to PS.","divisions":[{"label":"title","span":{"begin":0,"end":10}},{"label":"p","span":{"begin":11,"end":902}},{"label":"p","span":{"begin":903,"end":967}},{"label":"p","span":{"begin":968,"end":1093}},{"label":"p","span":{"begin":1094,"end":1268}},{"label":"p","span":{"begin":1268,"end":1343}},{"label":"p","span":{"begin":1343,"end":1521}}],"tracks":[]}
