Local Arterial Input Functions (AIFs) in perfusion MRI reduce contrast bolus dispersion errors in stroke patients. This validation study demonstrates improved accuracy in perfusion quantification and identifies areas of potential underestimation for better stroke management.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Radiology
  • Stroke Medicine

Background:

  • Perfusion MRI is crucial for stroke assessment.
  • Contrast bolus temporal dispersion complicates accurate perfusion quantification.
  • Stenosis and collateral supply exacerbate dispersion errors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate the effectiveness of local Arterial Input Functions (AIFs) in reducing perfusion errors caused by contrast bolus dispersion.
  • To assess two methods for local AIF voxel selection.
  • To compare local AIF deconvolution with global AIF deconvolution in stroke patients.

Main Methods:

  • Deconvolution of bolus concentration time-course data using local AIFs.
  • Extrapolation of local AIFs from surrounding MRI data due to voxel resolution limitations.

  • Analysis of residual dispersion in deconvolved perfusion maps.
  • Comparison of two local AIF localization approaches against global AIF deconvolution across 19 stroke patient datasets.

    • Main Results:

    • Local AIF methods successfully reduced dispersion in most analyzed datasets.
    • This suggests improved accuracy in perfusion quantification.
    • The validation process inherently identifies regions susceptible to perfusion underestimation.

    Conclusions:

    • Local AIFs offer a promising approach to mitigate dispersion-induced errors in perfusion MRI for stroke.
    • Accurate perfusion quantification is enhanced by using local AIFs.
    • Identification of potential underestimation areas aids in pinpointing at-risk tissue for stroke management.
