Module Description

PkModeling (Pharmacokinetics Modeling) is to calculate the quantitative parameters from DCE-MRI images. The two major parts of it are:

  • Convert signal intensities to concentration values
  • Calculate quantitative parameters from concentration values

Use Cases

Tutorials

Panels and their use

  • IO
    • Input:: 4D DCE-MRI data in nrrd; 3D mask in nrrd, showing the location of arterial input function.
    • Output: 4 volumes in nrrd, showing the maps of quantitative parameters. These parameters are ktrans, ve, maximum slope, and area under the curve (AUC).
  • Parameters
    • Parameters from 4D data:
      • TRValue: Repetition time,
      • TEValue: Echo time,
      • FAValue: Flip angle,
      • TimeAxis: Time series.
    • Parameters from user input:
      • Concentration calculation:
        • T1BloodValue: T1 blood value
        • T1TissueValue: T1 tissue value
        • RelaxivityValue: Relaxivity value
        • S0GradValue: Signal gradient threshold value
      • Quantitative parameters calculation:
        • FTolerance: Function value tolerance
        • GTolerance: Gradient magnitude tolerance
        • XTolerance: Search space tolerance
        • Epsilon: Step
        • MaxIter: Maximum number of iterations
        • Hematocrit
        • AUCTimeInterval: Time interval for AUC calculation
