DCE MRI provides several quantitative and semi-quantitative parameters that are crucial for cancer evaluation:
Ktrans: The volume transfer constant, representing the rate at which the contrast agent moves from the blood plasma into the extracellular extravascular space. ve: The extracellular extravascular volume fraction, indicating the proportion of tissue volume occupied by the extracellular space. vp: The plasma volume fraction, representing the proportion of tissue volume occupied by blood plasma. IAUC (Initial Area Under the Curve): A semi-quantitative measure of contrast agent uptake over a specific time interval.
