Direct Pharmacokinetic Parameter Estimation using Weighted Least Squares

Abstract:

Conventional dynamic PET studies estimate pharmacokinetic parameters using a two-step procedure of first reconstructing the spatial activity volume for each temporal frame independently before applying a pharmacokinetic model to the resulting spatio-temporal activity distribution. This indirect procedure leads to low SNR due to using only a subset of the temporal data when reconstructing each image. Our work concentrates on the estimation of parameters directly from the (raw or pre-corrected)...
