K1, k2, and k3 are rate constants, Vb is fractional blood volume, VT is volume of distribution, and Inline graphic and Inline graphic are binding potentials estimated directly (2T4k) and indirectly (2T4ki) using the reversible two-tissue model, respectively. The indirect calculation of BPND was performed using target to reference volumes of distribution ratios. During all simulations, k4 (0.032 min−1) and K1/k2 (3.3) were fixed
