Title:
MR分子イメージングによる造影剤の分布情報の決定
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2008541918
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
MR based molecular imaging is used for the quantification of contrast agent concentrations. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a difference between R2 and R2* relaxation rates of a contrast agent is determined on the basis of data measured after contrast agent application. This may provide for an in vivo information relating to a compartmentalization or binding status of the contrast agent, and thus may improve the significance of the examination result.
