Arrival time correction for dynamic susceptibility contrast MR permeability imaging in stroke patients.

<h4>Purpose</h4>To determine if applying an arrival time correction (ATC) to dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) based permeability imaging will improve its ability to identify contrast leakage in stroke patients for whom the shape of the measured curve may be very different due to hyp...
