Figure 3. Model corrected blood input function.

Figure 3

The model corrected blood input function (MCIF), Ca(t), computed by simultaneous estimation compared to the image-derived blood input function (IDIF: PET blood) obtained from the dynamic 11C-palmitate PET images. MCIF estimation improved radioactivity recovery at the early time points and eliminated SP contamination at the late time points from the myocardium to the LV blood pool.
