    This study introduces a simple FORTRAN program to analyze tracer studies. The software calculates exchange rates and parameters in compartmental systems directly from tracer activity data.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacokinetics and Physiological Modeling
    • Biophysical Chemistry
    • Systems Biology

    Background:

    • Compartmental models are essential for understanding tracer kinetics.
    • Analyzing tracer data often requires complex computational methods.
    • Accurate parameter estimation is crucial for interpreting tracer studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a user-friendly computational tool for analyzing compartmental systems using tracer data.
    • To automate the estimation of inter-pool exchange rates and other system parameters.
    • To simplify the process of fitting tracer kinetic data to compartmental models.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a 298-statement FORTRAN program.
    • Direct analysis of tracer activity time-course data following bolus injection.

  • User-specified natural language input for data and model definition.
  • Least-squares estimation for parameter fitting.

    • Main Results:

    • The program successfully obtains inter-pool exchange rates and system parameters.
    • It calculates confidence limits and intercorrelation estimates for fitted parameters.
    • Demonstrates accurate parameter estimation from tracer kinetic data.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed FORTRAN program is a powerful and practical tool for tracer study analysis.
    • Its small size and conceptual simplicity facilitate widespread application.
    • Enables efficient and reliable analysis of compartmental system dynamics.
