The BUR method was improved by changing the location of the input function from the aortic arch to the ascending aorta based on arterial blood flow dynamics, and reconstructing regression equation based on the rCBF values obtained using H (2) (15) O PET. This finding indicates the potential clinical usefulness of this method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
