ABSTRACT:
Haemodynamic indices of an organ or a part of tissue are determined from a time series of tomographic data obtained by means of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Maps of indices are produced, being significant of the dynamics of the capillary tissue flow acquired during rapid bolus injection of a tracer that stays mainly intravascular. The method may be used for evaluating the efficacy of a drug on an organ, or for obtaining information of the likelihood of recovery of an organ or part of tissue upon or during a period of insufficient vascular supply or during the progression of a chronic disease. The method may be used for discriminating between relevant therapy of an organ.
