With the increasing application of dynamic and functional techniques to radiological imaging
modalities other than nuclear medicine, it is becoming increasingly important for radiologists …

As functional imaging becomes increasingly important in radiology, practitioners in a wide
range of disciplines need to understand more about the quantitive aspects of physiology and …

The terminology for tracer kinetics has been re-examined with respect to the report prepared
by GL Brownell et al. in 1968. An updated and consistent nomenclature is proposed for …

This work used amalgamated data from previous projects in order to test the concept that
when organ function is expressed in terms of tracer kinetics, the results are independent of …

Blood flow can be expressed in several forms:(a) fraction of cardiac output,(b) absolute
blood flow (millilitres per minute), or (c) perfusion, which is blood flow per unit tissue volume …

Tracer Methods for In Vivo Kinetics: Theory and Applications summarizes and evaluates the
variety of working formulas in applying tracer methods for kinetic studies in vivo. This book …

The aim of dynamic radionuclide imaging is to measure how hard a system or organ in the
body is working. The variables that are estimated include how the quantity of tracer uptake …

Dynamic imaging data are currently analyzed with a tracer-kinetic theory developed for
individual time curves measured over whole organs. The assumption is that voxels …

The interpretation of tracer kinetic data obtained by external monitoring of radioactively-
labeled indicators is generally based on mathematical models that ignore recirculation. An …

These lectures were prepared by the authors for Seminars to be held on June 6, 1983, in St.
Louis, Missouri, under the sponsorship of the Radiopharmaceutical Science Council of the …
