Role of Kinetic Modeling in Biomedical Imaging
None:
Biomedical imaging can reveal clear 3-dimensional body morphology non-invasively with high spatial resolution. Its efficacy, in both clinical and pre-clinical settings, is enhanced with its capability to provide in vivo functional/biological information in tissue. The role of kinetic modeling in providing biological/functional information in biomedical imaging is described. General characteristics and limitations in extracting biological information are addressed and practical approaches to solve the problems are discussed and illustrated with examples. Some future challenges and opportunities for kinetic modeling to expand the capability of biomedical imaging are also presented.
