ABSTRACT:
A method is described for acquiring and analysing the data produced by Positron Emission Tomography (PET), which method provides for an accurate estimation of vascular compartment volume, VB. An MRI scan and the PET scan is performed simultaneously and the results of the former is used to derive a value for VB. The value so derived is then used in pharmacokinetic modelling along with the results of the functional scan.
