This manuscript describes the ISMRM OSIPI (Open Science Initiative for Perfusion Imaging) lexicon for dynamic contrast-enhanced and dynamic susceptibility-contrast MRI. The lexicon was developed by Taskforce 4.2 of OSIPI to provide standardized definitions of commonly used quantities, models, and analysis processes with the aim of reducing reporting variability.

Purpose: Software has a substantial impact on quantitative perfusion MRI values. The lack of generally accepted implementations, code sharing and transparent testing reduces reproducibility, hindering the use of perfusion MRI in clinical trials. To address these issues, the ISMRM Open Science Initiative for Perfusion Imaging (OSIPI) aimed to establish a community-led, centralized repository for sharing open-source code for processing contrast-based perfusion imaging, incorporating an open-source testing framework.

Objective: Dynamic BOLD MRI with cuff compression, inducing ischemia and post-occlusive hyperemia in skeletal muscle, has been pointed out as a potential diagnostic tool to assess peripheral limb perfusion. The objective was to explore the robustness of this technique and its sensitivity to the occlusion duration.

Materials And Methods: BOLD images were acquired at 3 T in 14 healthy volunteers.

Estimates of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and tissue mean transit time (MTT) have been shown to differ between dynamic CT perfusion (CTP) and dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI). This study investigates whether these discrepancies regarding CBF and MTT between CTP and DSC-MRI can be attributed to the different injection durations of these techniques. Five subjects were scanned using CTP and DSC-MRI.

There is no established technique that directly quantifies lower limb tissue perfusion. Blood oxygenation level-dependent magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-MRI) is an MRI technique that can determine skeletal muscle perfusion. BOLD-MRI relies on magnetic differences of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin, and regional changes in oxy/deoxyhemoglobin ratio can be recorded by T2* weighted MRI sequences.
