چکیده

A number of studies indicate that compartmental modeling of indocyanine green (ICG) pharmacokinetics, as measured by near infrared (NIR) techniques, may provide diagnostic information for tumor differentiation. However, compartmental parameter estimation is a highly non-linear problem with limited data available in a clinical setting. Furthermore, pharmacokinetic parameter estimates show statistical variation from one data set to another. Thus, a systematic and robust approach is needed to model, estimate and quantify ICG pharmacokinetic parameters. In this paper, we propose to model ICG pharmacokinetics in extended Kalman filtering (EKF) framework. EKF effectively models multiple-compartment and multiple-measurement systems in the presence of measurement noise and uncertainties in model dynamics. It provides simultaneous estimation of pharmacokinetic parameters and ICG concentrations in each compartment. Moreover, recursive nature of the Kalman filter estimator potentially allows real time monitoring of time varying pharmacokinetic rates and concentration changes in different compartments. We tested our approach using the ICG concentration data acquired from four Fischer rats carrying adenocarcinoma tumor cells. Our study indicates that EKF model may provide additional parameters that may be useful for tumor differentiation.

On-Line Nonlinear Dynamic Data Reconciliation Using Extended Kalman Filtering: Application to a Distillation Column and a CSTR

Extended Kalman Filtering (EKF) is a nonlinear dynamic data reconciliation (NDDR) method. One of its main advantages is its suitability for on-line applications. This paper presents an on-line NDDR method using EKF. It is implemented for two case studies, temperature measurements of a distillation column and concentration measurements of a CSTR. In each time step, random numbers with zero m...

Spatially Resolved Pharmacokinetic Rate Images of ICG using Near Infrared Optical Methods

In this work, we present spatially resolved pharmacokinetic rate images of indocyanine green (ICG) obtained from three breast cancer patients using near infrared imaging methods. We used a two-compartment model, namely, plasma and extracellular extravascular (EES), to model ICG kinetics around the tumor region. We introduced extended Kalman filtering (EKF) framework to estimate the ICG pharmaco...

Quantitative Analysis of Peripheral Tissue Perfusion Using Spatiotemporal Molecular Dynamics

BACKGROUND Accurate measurement of peripheral tissue perfusion is challenging but necessary to diagnose peripheral vascular insufficiency. Because near infrared (NIR) radiation can penetrate relatively deep into tissue, significant attention has been given to intravital NIR fluorescence imaging. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We developed a new optical imaging-based strategy for quantitative ...

The Particle Filter and Extended Kalman Filter methods for the structural system identification considering various uncertainties

Structural system identification using recursive methods has been a research direction of increasing interest in recent decades. The two prominent methods, including the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and the Particle Filter (PF), also known as the Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC), are advantageous in this field. In this study, the system identification of a shake table test of a 4-story steel struct...
