Version: 2.2
Description: This plugin allows you to easily analyze dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) data. Selected features for DCE_Tool include: - Drawing time course curves (signal intensity, relative enhancement,and contrast agent concentration) over a region of interest - Generating pixel-by-pixel semi-quantitative parameter maps (initial slope, area under the curve, and time to peak) - Calculating T1 relaxation times using variable flip angle (VFA) (with an option for B1 (transmit RF) field inhomogeneity correction) - Generating pixel-by-pixel pharmacokinetic parameter maps (standard Tofts/extended Tofts models)
