Biokinetic Fitting Functions Available in MIRDfit

FunctionDescriptionExample use
FormulaPhysical decay onlyNo biologic clearance
FormulaMonoexponential (biologic clearance with physical decay)General use
FormulaBiexponential (first phase, biologic clearance with physical decay; second phase, physical decay only)General use
FormulaBiexponential (first phase, rapid biologic clearance with physical decay; second phase, slow biologic clearance with physical decay)General use
FormulaBiexponential (first phase, uptake with physical decay; second phase, biologic clearance with physical decay)Regions with initial uptake period (function constrained though origin)
FormulaBiexponential (first phase, rapid biologic clearance with physical decay; second phase, slow biologic clearance with physical decay)Whole body, whole blood (intravenous administration); stomach contents (oral administration)
FormulaBiexponential (first phase, rapid biologic clearance with physical decay; second phase, slow biologic clearance with physical decay)Well-perfused organs (intravenous administration)
  • A1, A2 = exponential amplitude coefficients (%); λ1, λ2 = biologic clearance constants (h−1); λphys = physical decay constant (h−1); %blood = percentage of total blood mass within source region (g/g × 100%).
