Duke University Medical Center
Description
TOPPCAT stands for T-One weighted Perfusion imaging Parameter CAlculation Toolkit. TOPPCAT creates quantitative maps of Ktrans (volume transfer constant between blood plasma and the extravascular extracellular space) and fPV (fractional plasma volume) from dynamic T1-weighted perfusion images. At the current time, analysis using the method of Patlak plots (most appropriate for first pass dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging) is supported. As a preliminary step for the parameter calculation, TOPPCAT also creates maps of T1 and S0 (equilibrium magnetization) from multi-flip angle T1-weighted SPGR (or FLASH) sequences.
