Explicit measurement of multi-tracer arterial input function for PET imaging using blood sampling spectroscopy

Abstract Background Conventional PET imaging has usually been limited to a single tracer per scan. We propose a new technique for multi-tracer PET imaging that uses dynamic imaging and multi-tracer compartment modeling including an explicitly derived arterial input function (AIF) for each tracer usi...
