Improved parameter-estimation with combined PET-MRI kinetic modelling
Institute of Nuclear Medicine, University College London, London, UK Kinetic analysis can be applied both to dynamic PET and dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI data. We have investigated the potential of combined PET-MRI kinetic modelling using simulated FDG data. The volume of distribution, Ve, for the extravascular extra-cellular space (EES) can be estimated by DCE-MRI, and used to reduce th...
متن کاملParameter Estimation Algorithms for Kinetic Modeling from Noisy Data
The aim of this work is to test the Levemberg Marquardt and BFGS (Broyden Fletcher Goldfarb Shanno) algorithms, implemented by the matlab functions lsqnonlin and fminunc of the Optimization Toolbox, for modeling the kinetic terms occurring in chemical processes of adsorption. We are interested in tests with noisy data that are obtained by adding Gaussian random noise to the solution of a model ...
متن کاملHard-constrained vs. soft-constrained parameter estimation
The paper aims at contrasting two different ways of incorporating a-priori information in parameter estimation, i.e. hard-constrained and soft-constrained estimation. Hardconstrained estimation can be interpreted, in the Bayesian framework, as Maximum A-posteriori Probability (MAP) estimation with uniform prior distribution over the constraining set, and amounts to a constrained Least-Squares (...
متن کاملTracer Kinetic Modeling in PET.
Molecular imaging using PET provides a unique tool for noninvasively investigating the biochemistry of living organs. The wide range of radiolabeled molecules makes it possible to explore various biochemical, physiologic, and pharmacologic processes in vivo. Because each radiotracer is characterized by its particular kinetic behavior in the human body, the quantification of this behavior is a c...
متن کاملAn improved AEA algorithm with Harmony Search(HSAEA) and its application in reaction kinetic parameter estimation
Alopex-based evolutionary algorithm (AEA) is one kind of evolutionary algorithm. It possesses the basic characteristics of evolutionary algorithms as well as the advantages of gradient descent methods and simulation anneal algorithm, but it is also easy to trap into a local optimum. For the AEA algorithm, the unreasonably settings of compared population and step length are two typical drawbacks...
