Simplified [F]FDG Image-Derived Input Function Using the Left Ventricle, Liver, and One Venous Blood Sample
A relatively simple, almost entirely noninvasive imaging-based method is presented for deriving arterial blood input functions for quantitative [ 18 F]2-fluoro-2-deoxy- d -glucose (FDG) positron emission tomographic (PET) studies in rodents. It requires only one venous blood sample at the end of the...
