Figure 2From: FDG kinetic modeling in small rodent brain PET: optimization of data acquisition and analysis Effect of fractional blood volume on modeling with data from the cortex. (A) Effect on goodness of fit (χ2). Original data were more sensitive to unrealistically high v b in the model. (B) Averaged CMRglc was increased by about 10% when v b was assumed to be zero. Thin lines are drawn one average standard deviation of the experimental data (n = 5 animals) above and below the average data curve.Back to article page
