Abstract
The usage of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) as a clinical tool is still widely assessed. Application of the standard pharmacokinetic models to obtain physiologically relevant parameter values using DCE-MRI in tumours is not trivial, when the temporal resolution is low. Mathematical analysis and analysis by simulation of the identifiability for the generalized and extended Kety models was executed. Parameter estimation was executed using synthetic data sets and maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). The influence of temporal resolution was examined. The generalized and extended Kety model showed a large bias in the parameter estimates (10-120%) for sampling times >4 s, although the estimated variance was relatively low (
