In this work, we tested the feasibility of IF measurement with an arteriovenous shunt and a coincidence counter in mice and compared the method with an image-derived IF (IDIF) obtained by ensemble-learning independent component analysis of the heart region.energy metabolismPETmolecular imagingglucosekinetic modelingQuantification of brain glucose metabolism by 18F-FDG PET with real-time arterial and image-derived input function in micetext::journal::journal article::research article
