Parameters Characterizing Dispersion Function of Tracer in Blood, from Vena Cava to Blood Counter Sampling Point in Femoral Artery
| Parameter | a (-) | b (-) | τ1 (s) | τ2 (s) |
| Mean | 1.10 | 0.62 | 20 | 180 |
| SD | 0.17 | 0.13 | 8 | 86 |
n = 4. Values represent mean and SD over 4 rats. For each animal, parameters were determined by fitting dispersion-corrected image-derived vena cava input function to arterial input function measured with external microvolumetric blood counter.
(-) = values are dimensionless.
