NCIt synonyms : Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast-Enhanced MRI;
NCIt related terms : DSC; DYNAMIC SUSCEPTIBILITY-CONTRAST MRI; DSC-MRI;
NCIt definition : A type of magnetic resonance imaging that uses the transient signal reduction induced
by the first pass of gadolinium chelate through the brain vessels to calculate cerebral
blood flow maps, and to determine the ratio between the cerebral blood volume in the
lesion and the cerebral blood volume in normal tissue.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: A type of MRI that uses the transient signal reduction induced by the first
pass of gadolinium chelate through the brain vessels to calculate cerebral blood flow
maps, and to determine the ratio between the cerebral blood volume in the lesion and
the cerebral blood volume in normal tissue.;
