摘要
We present two regression models for the automatic estimation of bolus arrival times (BATs) in dynamic contrast MRI datasets. Results of Monte Carlo simulation experiments show that the means and standard deviations of the estimated BATs are within the sampling interval even in the presence of significant noise.
