title: New developments in perfusion imaging by bolus tracking.
abstract: The author describes the theoretical basis of quantification of cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV) and mean transit time (MTT) by the bolus tracking method: i.e.dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI using very rapid imaging to capture the first pass of intravenously injected paramagnetic contrast agent.
