New Parameter Estimation Approaches for Dual-input C-acetate Liver Kinetic Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
C-acetate uptake in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was reported and the modeling study has been conducted, in which the weighted nonlinear least squares (NLS) algorithm was used to estimate all of the parameters. However, the computational timecomplexity of NLS method is high and some estimates are not quite reliable. Due to the hepatic dual blood supply, the current developed fast algorithms could not be used directly. In this paper, two new estimation approaches were presented: Patlak-NLS and Patlak-dual-input-generalized linear least squares. The estimation results demonstrated that these two methods could provide better and practical ways for dual-input C-acetate liver kinetic modeling. Copyright © 2005 IFAC

Novel parameter estimation methods for 11C-acetate dual-input liver model with dynamic PET.
The successful investigation of 11C-acetate in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging for marking hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been validated by both clinical and quantitative modeling studies. In the previous quantitative studies, all the individual model parameters were estimated by the weighted nonlinear least squares (NLS) algorithm. However, five parameters need to be estimated s...
متن کاملTracer kinetic modeling of 11C-acetate applied in the liver with positron emission tomography.
It is well known that 40%-50% of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) do not show increased 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake. Recent research studies have demonstrated that 11C-acetate may be a complementary tracer to FDG in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of HCC in the liver. Quantitative dynamic modeling is, therefore, conducted to evaluate the kinetic characteristics of this tracer i...

OBJECTIVE The kinetic analysis of (11)C-acetate PET provides more information than routine one time-point static imaging. This study aims to investigate the potential of dynamic (11)C-acetate hepatic PET imaging to improve the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and benign liver lesions by using compartmental kinetic modeling and discriminant analysis. METHODS Twenty-two patients were...
متن کاملOnline State Space Model Parameter Estimation in Synchronous Machines
The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach based on the Least Squares Error method for estimating the unknown parameters of the nonlinear 3rd order synchronous generator model. The proposed method uses the mathematical relationships between the machine parameters and on-line input/output measurements to estimate the parameters of the nonlinear state space model. The field voltage is...
متن کاملMeasurement of Heat Characteristics of a New Incubator with a Chemical Energy Source
A heat transfer model was developed for a new non-electric infant’s transport incubator. The source of heat comprises a super saturated solution of Sodium Acetate and a metal disk (activator) in a plastic container. Estimating the number of the chemical bags required for different ambient temperature was the goal. First the quantity of heat generated by the chemical was appointed through experi...
