"Cerebral blood flow (CBF) estimates derived from singular value decomposition (SVD) of time intensity curves from Gadolinium bolus perfusion-weighted imaging are known to underestimate CBF, especially at high flow rates. We report the development of a model-independent delay-invariant deconvolution technique using least-absolute-deviation (LAD) regularization to Improve the CBF estimation accuracy," investigators in the United States report.

"Computer simulations were performed to compare the accuracy of CBF estimates derived from LAD, reformulated SVD (rSVD) and standard SVD (sSVD) techniques. Simulations were performed at image signal-to-noise ratios ranging from 20...
