PURPOSE: Deconvolution based on truncated singular value decomposition (SVD deconvolution) is a promising method for measuring cerebral blood flow (CBF) with dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI), but it has proved extremely sensitive to tracer delay. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of regional tracer delay on CBF determined by SVD deconvolution (SVD-CBF). SVD-CBFs with and without correction for the delay were compared with CBF measured by positron emission tomography (PET-CBF), which is regarded as the gold standard for quantification of CBF.METHODS: Perfusion MRI and PET were performed on seven healthy men. In the PET study, the CBF image was obtained with bolus injection of H2(15)O and continuous arterial sampling. In the DSC-MRI study with bolus injection of Gd-based contrast agent, dynamic perfusion data were obtained with a 1.5T scanner at 1-s intervals by means of gradient-echo echo-planar imaging. CBF was determined by the SVD deconvolution method with and without correction for the tracer delay. Region-of-interest measurements were obtained in the gray matter (cerebral cortex in the middle cerebral artery territory) and white matter (centrum semiovale).RESULTS: Tracer delay was significantly longer in white matter than in gray matter (1.45+/-0.61 s vs. 0.59+/-0.35 s, P
