DCESim

This code simulates the MRI signal from a model of MRI voxel in the context of dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI). Various voxel geometries (microvessels, cells) can be considered as well as several MRI sequences (spin-echo, gradient-echo, etc.). The simulations account for a simplistic model of blood flow, the arterial input function, the permeability of the vascular wall, the water diffusion, and the diffusion of the contrast agent within the extravasular, extracellular space. It runs on Matlab and was described in: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0057636 More information can be found README.txt
