Lumped constant and input function in quantitative analysis of glucose metabolism 18F-FDG image
-
Abstract
Lumped constant (LC) is the ratio of FDG metabolism ratio to glucose metabolism ratio. There is different LC in the different tissue, and the different physiologic condition in a tissue can also result in the different LC. In this paper we summarize LC values in several tissue and the method to calculation them, and introduce several simple method to get input function.
