The Rapid Steady State T1 technique enables direct quantitative mapping of the cerebral blood volume fraction with a clinically approved Gd-DOTA dose during the first pass and without requirement of the arterial input function. It facilitates treatment monitoring and clinical studies in particular for the evaluation of antiangiogenic therapies.
