FIGURE 1. Estimation of white matter activity for 3S-PVC (Eq. 2) from a 11C-AA PET frame (2530 min after injection). Activity values for pure white matter were obtained from voxels with smoothed white matter mask value (sWM) close to 1.0. Each point represents mean ± SD of activity in voxels plotted vs. smoothed white matter mask. Activity values of voxels with sWM from 0.99 to 1.0 were fitted to straight line and value at sWM = 1.0 was used as white matter value.
