Provides an introductory guide to mathematical modeling for analyzing radiotracer disposition kinetics.
Offers entry point for radiotracer modeling education; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
The most prevalent use of a radioactive tracer is to assess specific organ function for diagnostic purpose. This analysis is performed by obtaining a time-activity curve of the tracer and then developing an appropriate mathematical model for disposition kinetics of the tracer. This article provides an introductory guide to several aspects of this method, which has been successfully applied in various experimental and clinical studies.
