The present disclosure deals with the quickening of MRI examinations. Subjects of the present disclosure are a method, a system, a computer program product, a use, a contrast agent for use and a kit.

Forecast of MRI images by means of a forecast model trained by supervised learning

A system, method, and computer program product for predicting, anticipating, and/or assessing tissue characteristics obtains measurement information associated with a parameter of a voxel of tissue of a patient measured at two or more time points, the two or more time points occurring before one or more characteristics of the voxel of the tissue are separable in an image generated based on the parameter of the voxel measured at a single time point of the two or more time points, and determines, based on the parameter of the voxel at the two or more time points, the one or more characteristics of the voxel of the tissue.

System, method, and computer program product for predicting, anticipating, and/or assessing tissue characteristics

A method of predetermining the time profile of a contrast agent concentration at a vessel position is provided in the context of contrast agent-enhanced MRI of a region of interest only during the initial flooding-in phase of the contrast agent into the vessel situated in the region of interest. The method includes establishing a broadening of a contrast agent bolus profile according to the equation &#x394;W=W&#x2212;Wwherein Wis a first width of the contrast agent bolus profile at a first vessel position and Wis a second width of a contrast agent concentration profile at a second vessel position within the region of interest. The broadening is established by determining at least one flow parameter which is dependent on at least one blood flow property of the patient at a third vessel position thereof and which correlates with the broadening of the contrast agent profile.
