Tracer 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 کاملPerfusion/Permeability 1: Tracer Kinetic Modeling Using Contrast Agents
• Agents originally developed to enhance contrast-to-noise in anatomic images following intravenous administration. • Their principal mode of action is to increase the relaxation rates (1/T1, 1/T2, 1/T2*) of nearby water molecules thereby modifying local signal intensity. • Extracellular agents (such as Gd-DTPA) accumulate in the interstitium of many tissues (e.g. muscle) but do not cross the b...

متن کاملTracer kinetic modelling for DCE-MRI quantification of subtle blood–brain barrier permeability
There is evidence that subtle breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a pathophysiological component of several diseases, including cerebral small vessel disease and some dementias. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) combined with tracer kinetic modelling is widely used for assessing permeability and perfusion in brain tumours and body tissues where contrast agents readily accumulate...
متن کاملThe Status and Future of PET Myocardial Blood Flow Quantification Software
Myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantification with PET is generally considered a gold standard for the measurement of myocardial perfusion in absolute terms. The resulting values of MBF and myocardial flow reserve (MFR) used to determine the diagnostic path of a patient have a twofold (for MFR) or threefold (for MBF) range in literature, which interferes with establishing meaningful cutoffs̶numeric...
