Metabolism of glucose has been an interesting target for tumor imaging for 3 decades. Development of radiolabeled glucose by many research groups in the 1970s and 1980s led to development of the most common PET radiopharmaceutical, F-FDG. Since then, FDG has been used for the detection and staging of several malignancies. Few limitations have been proposed in the last few years in using FDG as ...

This paper is concerned with the minimum-cost flow problem over an arbitrary flow network. In this problem, each node is associated with some possibly unknown injection, each line has two unknown flows at its ends related to each other via a nonlinear function, and all injections and flows need to satisfy certain box constraints. This problem, named generalized network flow (GNF), is highly non...
