In rapid dual-tracer PET, a dynamic scan is obtained with staggered injections of each tracer. Differences in the kinetic behavior of each tracer, along with the offset injections, permit separation of the dual-tracer time-activity curves into single-tracer components, which can then be analyzed using the usual single-tracer methods to obtain static or dynamic imaging measures as desired.
