Definition of the Semi-Quantitative Parameters
Parameter | Definition |
---|---|
SImax | Maximum signal intensity over the time course of the enhancement curve |
SIrel | Relative signal intensity = (SImax-SI0)/SI0×100 |
TTP | Time-to-peak |
WIR | Wash-in-rate = (SImax-SI0)/TTP |
WOR | Wash-out-rate = (SImax-SIend)/(SImax-SI0) |
iAUC60 | Initial area under the curve in the initial 60 seconds. |
