Comparison of parameter estimation techniques for the quantitation of local cerebral blood flow by serial positron computed tomography

  • 1. Medical Physics Dept., Univ. of Wisconsin, Madison, WI

Description

Local cerebral blood flow (LCBF) can be quantitated from positron computed tomographic (PCT) data by several general methods. Those using serial PCT scans allow the simultaneous estimation of both lCBF and λ, the tissue: blood partition coefficient. This paper reports a comprison of three estimation techniques for use with serial PCT data, each of which is based on the original Kety-Schmidt equation
