Abstract
Systems and methods include acquisition of positron emission tomography (PET) data of a volume comprising blood and tissue, determination, from the acquired PET data, of a blood input function (BIF) from a time at which non-metabolized radionuclide tracer within the volume has reached a steady state between the blood and the tissue, and determination of parametric images based on the acquired PET data, the determined BIF and a parametric model which does not include BIF values prior to the time.
