Materials and Methods: The study material consisted of two separate groups of rats having different physiological conditions. Each group was scanned by different PET cameras, i.e., HRRT and Inveon-PET/CT, and blood samples were drawn during imaging. Two kinds of model functions, i.e., F-Model and K-Model, were used for estimating input functions by an optimization procedure, applying restrictions on boundary conditions. To validate the method, glucose influx rate, K (i), was computed from the estimated and measured input functions for comparison.

Abstract
Materials and Methods: The study material consisted of two separate groups of rats having different physiological conditions. Each group was scanned by different PET cameras, i.e., HRRT and Inveon-PET/CT, and blood samples were drawn during imaging. Two kinds of model functions, i.e., F-Model and K-Model, were used for estimating input functions by an optimization procedure, applying restrictions on boundary conditions. To validate the method, glucose influx rate, K (i), was computed from the estimated and measured input functions for comparison.File in questo prodotto:
