Figure 8From: Development and performance test of an online blood sampling system for determination of the arterial input function in rats Example of square functions measured by the online blood sampling system using (A) [ 18 F] FDG and (B) ( R )-[ 11 C] verapamil. The obtained dispersion curves were fitted using a monoexponential function (white squares are measurements and the line corresponds to the best fit). Measurements were performed using 34.3Â MBq [18F]FDG mixed in 1.59-ml blood and 47.8Â MBq (R)-[11C]verapamil mixed in 2-ml blood. Both dispersion curves were corrected for radioactive decay to the start of acquisition.Back to article page
