Abstract

BACKGROUND: Perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)s plays a central role in the diagnosis and monitoring of neurovascular or neurooncological disease. However, conventional processing techniques are limited in their ability to capture relevant characteristics of the perfusion dynamics and suffer from a lack of standardization.
