Coronal slices of SUV image (A), and label image showing the preferred kinetic models by tissue segment (blue: BV, green: 1TC-2 k, red: 2TC-3 k) (B). Parametric V_b (blood volume) images generated with 2TC-3 k applied to each voxel (C) and with the proposed method (D). Red arrows indicate artefacts in heart and vascular structures when the 2TC-3 k model was used to fit all voxels.
