| Abstract | The aim of this study is to develop a new method to extract input function (IF) from dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) data using the well known $[^{18}F]-2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-d-glucose$ $(^{18}F-FDG)$ for the determination of the myocardial metabolic rate of glucose (MMRG). In the case of cardiac studies, the IF can be obtained directly from the data by mean of a region of interest (ROI) drawn over the blood pool. However, in small animal imaging, hearts and arteries are small compared to the scanner spatial resolution. Consequently, vascular radioactivity is spilled over adjacent tissues and vice versa. As a result, curves obtained from ROIs are made up of a mixture of clean blood activity and the surrounding tissues activities. In this work, we assume that the elementary activities of the ventricular blood pool and the myocardium are spatially independent and that dynamic PET image frames are composed of a mixture of them. We use the independent component analysis (ICA) and a Generalized Gaussian Distribution (GGD) model in order to reveal the unknown de-mixing matrix. The derived ICA-IF are then compared to IF derived from invasive arterial blood samples. Results display similar shapes to those obtained by arterial sampling. Moreover, the MMRG calculated using the ICA-IF and two-compartment model correlated well with the results obtained from the sampled IF (2% difference only). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
