Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, apparatus, and computer readable medium for detecting an immune factor responsive to a contrast agent. In some embodiments, pre-contrast image data, early timepoint image data, and delayed timepoint image data are received. In some embodiments, an early timepoint map is generated using a comparison of the pre-contrast image data to the early timepoint image data, and a delayed timepoint map is generated using a comparison of the pre-contrast image data to the delayed timepoint image data, where the early timepoint map represents intravascular contrast, the delayed timepoint map represents the intravascular contrast and extravascular contrast, and the extravascular contrast indicates the immune factor. In some embodiments, a combined immune factor map is generated by voxel-wise subtraction of the early timepoint map from the delayed timepoint map.
