| Abstract | In cancer, pathological tissue often exhibits abnormal perfusion and vascular permeability. These can be estimated by monitoring the abundance of an injected contrast medium over time, using Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced (DCE) MR Imaging. The resulting spatially resolved time curves are usually interpreted in terms of a pharmacokinetic model which is fitted by maximum likelihood. However, the resulting nonlinear least squares (NLLS) problem may exhibit spurious local optima leading to false parameter estimates at individual voxels in the generated parameter map. We propose the application of a spatial prior model in form of a generalized Gaussian Markov random field. By using information from parameter estimates at neighboring voxels and computing a maximum a posteriori solution for the whole parameter map at once, false local optima at individual voxels can be avoided. Since the number of variables gets very big for common image resolutions, standard NLLS solvers cannot be employed anymore. We therefore propose a generalized iterated conditional modes (ICM) approach operating on blocks instead of sites. Results on DCE-MR images of the prostate show less speckle noise in the resulting parameter maps. Furthermore, the mean square error (MSE) in the affected voxels is significantly smaller, thus reflecting a better fit. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
