DCE-MRI is used to measure BBB integrity by measuring the concentration of gadolinium contrast agent over time in the blood plasma (Cp) and in the brain tissue (Ct). These measured concentrations are then used to calculate the blood-to-brain transfer coefficient (Ktrans) and the blood volume (vp) using the Patlak mathematical model (Figure created using Biorender.com).
