| Abstract | This paper proffers two non-linear empirical parametric models—linear slope and Ricker—for use in characterising contrast enhancement in dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI. The advantage of these models over existing empirical parametric and pharmacokinetic models is that they can be fitted using linear least squares (LS). This means that fitting is quick, there is no need to specify initial parameter estimates, and there are no convergence issues. Furthermore the LS fit can itself be used to provide initial parameter estimates for a subsequent NLS fit (self-starting models). The results of an empirical evaluation of the goodness of fit (GoF) of these two models, measured in terms of both MSE and R^2, relative to a two-compartment pharmacokinetic model and the Hayton model are also presented. The GoF was evaluated using both routine clinical breast MRI data and a single high temporal resolution breast MRI data set. The results demonstrate that the linear slope model fits the routine clinical data better than any of the other models and that the two parameter self-starting Ricker model fits the data nearly as well as the three parameter Hayton model. This is also demonstrated by the results for the high temporal data and for several temporally sub-sampled versions of this data. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
