NCIt definition : A type of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging that monitors the passage
of contrast medium through a capillary bed. It is based on inhomogeneity of the magnetic
field during the passage of a short bolus of contrast medium through the capillary
bed. It can demonstrate the characteristics of the vascular physiology and hemodynamics
of tumors and has been used to differentiate recurrence from radiation injury.;
