To propose an efficient algorithm to perform dual input compartment modeling for generating perfusion maps in the liver.
We implemented whole field-of-view linear least squares (LLS) to fit a delay-compensated dual-input single-compartment model to very high temporal resolution (four frames per second) contrast-enhanced 3D liver data, to calculate kinetic parameter maps. Using simulated data and experimental data in healthy subjects and patients, whole-field LLS was compared with the conventional voxel-wise nonlinear least-squares (NLLS) approach in terms of accuracy, performance, and computation time.
Simulations showed good agreement between LLS and NLLS for a range of kinetic parameters. The whole-field LLS method allowed generating liver perfusion maps approximately 160-fold faster than voxel-wise NLLS, while obtaining similar perfusion parameters.
Delay-compensated dual-input liver perfusion analysis using whole-field LLS allows generating perfusion maps with a considerable speedup compared with conventional voxel-wise NLLS fitting. Magn Reson Med 79:2415-2421, 2018. © 2017 International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine.
提出一种有效的算法,对肝脏进行双重输入室模型建模,以生成灌注图。
我们采用全场线性最小二乘法(LLS),以延迟补偿的双输入单室模型拟合非常高时间分辨率(每秒四帧)的对比增强 3D 肝脏数据,以计算动力学参数图。使用模拟数据和健康受试者及患者的实验数据,在准确性、性能和计算时间方面,将全场 LLS 与传统的体素非线性最小二乘法(NLLS)进行比较。
模拟结果表明,对于一系列动力学参数,LLS 与 NLLS 具有很好的一致性。与体素 NLLS 相比,全场 LLS 方法可以将肝脏灌注图的生成速度提高约 160 倍,同时获得相似的灌注参数。
