Abstract | Cardiac /sup 82/Rb PET can quantify absolute myocardial perfusion through tracer kinetic modeling. The aim of this study was to evaluate performance of the one-tissue-compartment model to estimate quantitative perfusion values with the tracer /sup 82/Rb and dynamic PET. Myocardial tissue curves were simulated for a range of values for the model parameters k1 (0.1-4.0 ml/min/g), k2 (0.0-1.0/min), and blood volume Fa (0.1-0.9) with 20% Gaussian noise. Bias, variance and correlation of the parameters were investigated as measures of quality assurance for the quantitative perfusion parameter k1. PET studies were performed in dogs with and without occlusion of the LAD coronary artery to validate the simulations. The parameters k1, k2 and Fa were all estimated to within 10% of the true values when Fa was within 0.1-0.7. k1 estimates were unstable for Fa values larger than 0.9, which can occur in regions of severely diseased myocardium. Correlation of k1 with Fa increases with large values of k1, but does not introduce significant bias. Estimated k1 values and correlations /spl rho/(k1,Fa) from the dog studies were in good agreement with the simulation values, indicating that the simulations were representative of measured /sup 82/Rb PET data. Changes in image smoothness were compensated by Fa as expected, and did not bias k1 estimates in the range employed for typical cardiac /sup 82/Rb PET studies. A one-tissue-compartment model of /sup 82/Rb tracer kinetics generates accurate and precise estimates of the perfusion parameter k1. The k1 estimates are not sensitive to image smoothness or the correlation with blood volume. |

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.
