Latest DCDI approach to Arterial (Ta) and Venous (Tv) delay approach was tested:
Arterial delay is defined graphically (at the moment) by analyzing the AIF and roiTAC.
(blue-AIF, red-VIF, green-roiTAC)
Define: Ta = ContrastArrivalTimeROI - ContrastArrivalAIF.
For this specific ROI it was Ta = 16 sec.
At the moment User punches in this time delay, but will be entirely automatic later.
Then we perform 5 parameter fitting of DCDI model {TotalFlow,fa,Ki,Ve,Tv}. We set Tv=[0,8] seconds.
Result is encouraging, with fa=0.33. (Blue is the data curve, black is the Model curve)
ROI was made very small to avoid the blood vessels.
