Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biophysics
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Bolus-tracking MRI calculates perfusion using deconvolution analysis of contrast agent concentration over time.
  • Current deconvolution methods often lack a reliable measure of precision.
  • Estimating precision typically requires multiple injections, which is limited by contrast agent dosage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a method for estimating precision in bolus-tracking MRI perfusion measurements.
  • To enable uncertainty quantification from a single contrast agent bolus injection.
  • To address the limitations of current deconvolution techniques regarding precision estimation.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of the wild-bootstrap method for precision estimation in bolus-tracking MRI.
  • Assessment of the methodology using numerical simulations.
  • Application and validation of the method on real MRI data with varying image quality.

Main Results:

  • The wild-bootstrap method successfully estimates precision in bolus-tracking MRI perfusion.
  • Uncertainty estimates are derived from data acquired during a single contrast agent injection.
  • Results from real data correlate with underlying MRI image quality.

Conclusions:

  • The wild-bootstrap method provides a feasible approach to quantify uncertainty in bolus-tracking MRI perfusion.
  • This methodology offers a valuable tool for both clinical and research applications of bolus-tracking MRI.
  • The technique overcomes the constraints of repeated contrast agent injections for precision assessment.
