Detection of the Arterial Input Function Using DSC-MRI Data

Svitlana Alkhimova, Kateryna Sazonova

Accurate detection of arterial input function is a crucial step in obtaining perfusion hemodynamic parameters using dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. It is required as input for perfusion quantification and has a great impact on the result of the deconvolution operation. To improve the reproducibility and reliability of arterial input function detection, several semi- or fully automatic methods have been proposed. This study provides an overview of the current state of the field of arterial input function detection. Methods most commonly used for semi- and fully automatic arterial input function detection are reviewed, and their advantages and disadvantages are listed.
