N-13 Ammonia, F-18 FDG를 이용한 심근혈류량과 당대사율 정량화

Regional MBF and MRGlc can be accurately estimated with N-13 ammonia and FDG PET using tracer kinetic methods including compartmental and non-compartmental approaches. Compartment modeling approaches are physiologically well characterized, but are methodologically more complicated. Noncompartmental analysis are easier to implement while the limitations and assumptions of the methods should be understood prior to the application of the method.
