Input Function Estimation Error for UCLA Mice FDG Datasets. (mean ± standard deviation)(%).

# Blood Samples CWRU HSIDO
AUC 0 34.3 ± 52.4 −2.9 ± 28.6 †‡

CWRU: Input function estimation method in Ref. 3.

HSIDO: Input function estimation method developed in this study.

*

Measurement precision improves significantly (P<0.05) over the same measurement obtained with one less blood sample.

†

HSIDO based measurement has significantly smaller bias (P<0.05) than CWRU based measurement.

‡

HSIDO based measurement has significantly better precision (P<0.05) than CWRU based measurement.
