Functional Data Analysis of Dynamic PET Data

Analysis of Dynamic PET Data

In dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) an artery sampling is needed for assessment and validation of parameters in kinetic models. The sampling can be uncomfortable and painful for the patient and technically demanding for the personnel performing the sampling. Noninvasive estimation of the artery time activity curve (TAC) is thus very useful, since the sampling then can be avoided. Meth...

Alternative ranking method in Dynamic Data Envelopment Analysis (DDEA)

The motivation of this paper is to propose such equitable method for ranking all decision making units (DMUs) in dynamic Data Envelopment Analysis (DDEA) framework. As far as we are aware there is not more studies in dynamic DEA literature. What's more, in such cases the best operating unit is important to be sampled for the others in under evaluated time periods. However, in this special conce...

Dynamic analysis of MR-PET data on brain tumors

Institute of Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon, Portugal The introduction of hybrid MR-PET scanners offers new perspectives to better correlate MR and PET data with respect to time and space domain. In case of brain tumor patients, dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC)-MRI is often used to measure perfusion levels of brain, while dynamic [F]-fluoro...
