Tracer kinetic modelling for medical image analysis

Povzetek / Abstract:

Medical imaging measures biological or physical tissue properties. Tracer administration and dynamic image acquisition allows image analysis with tracer kinetic modelling. Application of that technique greatly increases the amount of information that is obtained with the imaging.

In the first part of this seminar I will present basic principle of medical imaging with the tracer, physiological pathways of tracers and models used for tracer kinetic modelling. In the second part I will focus on exemplary applications of tracer kinetic modelling for medical image analysis, relevant implementation details and interesting results.
