  1. 1. Quantification of cerebral blood flow with 15O-water PET : A comparison study between PET/CT and PET/MR and two different blood sampling instruments

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik; Umeå universitet/Diagnostisk radiologi

    Author : Amanda Eriksson; [2021]
    Keywords : Cerebral Blood Flow; CBF; oxygen-15-labelled water; PET CT; PET MR; Quantification of CBF; Image Derived Input Function; IDIF; Blood Sampled Input Function; BSIF; Arterial Input Function; AIF; Tracer Kinetic Modelling; Single Tissue Compartmental Model; 1TCM;

    Abstract : Cerebral blood flow quantification is a vital diagnostic tool for disease monitoring and used for diagnosing a variation of pathological conditions. The human brain requires roughly about 20 % of the total cardiac output to sustain normal functioning, hence the perfusion of blood is an important factor to deliver oxygenated blood. READ MORE

    Abstract : Hjärntumörer utgör cirka 2,5% av alla cancerdiagnoser i Sverige (2013) och femårsöverlevnaden är cirka 50%. Hjärntumörer diagnostiseras med bildtagningstekniker såsom datortomografi (CT), positronemissionstomografi (PET) och magnetkamera (MR). READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of Methods for Obtaining an Image Derived Input Function from Dynamic PET-images

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik; Umeå universitet/Radiofysik

    Author : Sofia Jonsson; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Dynamic PET is a technique to follow the uptake kinetics of radioactive labelled molecules in the human body. The kinetic behaviour may be analysed to acquire parameters, such as perfusion of blood to tissue, with the knowledge of the blood activity time curve (also called input function). READ MORE
