From: DCE-MRI to distinguish all monoclonal plasma cell disease stages and correlation with diffusion-weighted MRI/PET-based biomarkers in a hybrid simultaneous whole body-2-[18F]FDG-PET/MRI imaging approach

Fig. 2

Time-signal intensity curve (TIC) obtained from DCE with all the measurement points studied giving different metrics that qualitatively characterize the DCE: S0 = First values signal (baseline), AT = Arrival Time, Smax = Maximum Signal, PEI = Peak Enhancement Intensity (Smax—S0), PER = Peak Enhancement Ratio (PEI/S0), TPEI = Time to PEI (Tmax -AT), TTP = Time To Peak (end of Wash-in—AT), T90 = Time before 90% of PEI, MITR = Maximum Intensity Time ratio (PEI/TPEI), nMITR = normalized MITR (100*PEI/(S0*TPEI)), WinSlope = up-slope (Wash-in), WinAngle = up-angle, WoutSlope = down-slope (Wash-out), WoutAngle = down-angle, SER = (Smax- S0)/(Send—S0), iAUC60 = AUC between AT and 60 s, AvgPlateau = AUC between TTP and Tend
