title: Dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging techniques: CT and MRI.
abstract: Over the last few decades there has been considerable research into quantifying the cerebral microvasculature with imaging, for use in studies of the human brain and various pathologies including cerebral tumours. This review highlights key issues in dynamic contrast-enhanced CT, dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and arterial spin labelling, the various applications of which are considered elsewhere in this special issue of the British Journal of Radiology.
