Background:

  • Accurate determination of organ transit times is crucial in nuclear medicine.
  • Existing methods for deconvolution can be complex and sensitive to signal characteristics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a direct deconvolution algorithm for organ residue signals.
  • To determine organ transit time distributions and mean transit time from input and residue signals.
  • To assess the algorithm's accuracy and robustness using simulated data.

Main Methods:

  • A novel deconvolution algorithm based on the Laplace transform is presented.
  • The method requires input signals to be modeled by one to three exponentials, with optional bolus or constant terms.
