Method and apparatus for calculating blood flow parameters
   
   

A method for determining tissue type includes quantitatively determining a tissue blood flow (TBF) by deconvoluting Q(t) and Ca(t), where Q(t) represents a curve of specific mass of contrast, and Ca(t) represents an arterial curve of contrast concentration, and quantitatively determining a tissue blood volume (TBV) by deconvoluting Q(t) and Ca(t). The method also includes quantitatively determining a tissue mean transit time (TMTT) by deconvoluting Q(t) and Ca(t), and quantitatively determining a tissue capillary permeability surface area product (TPS) by deconvoluting Q(t) and Ca(t). The method also includes determining a tissue type based on the TBF, the TBV, the TMTT, and the TPS.
