Research findings, "Partial volume effect compensation for improved reliability of quantitative blood-brain barrier permeability," are discussed in a new report. According to a study from the United States, "Blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays an important role in the pathophysiology of many central nervous system disorders. In the past, a number of laboratory techniques have been proposed to quantify permeability coefficient, k(i), an important index of barrier function."
"Recently, MRI has been used to estimate k(i) based on the unidirectional tracer kinetics model in one compartment as proposed by Patlak et al. and has been found to be in good agreement with the gold...
