Table 5 Mean value and standard deviation of the percentage of difference of the simplified kinetic parameters values (striatum Ki using Patlak linearization for [18F]FDG and frontal VT using Logan linearization for [18F]DPA-714) extracted from the different calibrated IDIF compared to the simplified kinetic parameters values as reference obtained using calibrated IDIF from EARL2 reconstruction for [18F]FDG and using calibrated input function from continuous blood sampler for [18F]DPA-714, with the same tissue time-activity curve from EARL 2
