OSIPI’s Structure
To achieve OSIPI’s mission six specific aims were identified. Each aim is supported by 1-3 task forces (TF), generally split by non-contrast (arterial spin labeling; ASL) and contrast agent-based (dynamic susceptibility contrast; DSC; and dynamic contrast enhanced; DCE) perfusion MRI. From the second roadmap, intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) was also added.
