R Documentation

Regularize SVD (deconvolution) solution of cerebral blood flow.

Description

Ostergaard's regularization approach for a model independent solution of cerebral blood flow using a blood pool contrast agent (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8916023).

Usage

deconvolutionSVD(arterialInputFunction, thresholdSVD = 0.2)

Arguments

`arterialInputFunction`	vector specifying the arterial input function over time.
`thresholdSVD`	is used to threshold the smaller elements of the diagonal matrix during the SVD regularization. 0.2 is a common choice (cf. page 571, end of column 2 in http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16971140).

Value

regularized residue function, i.e. the right-hand side of CBF * dT * R = ( V * L^-1 * U^T ) * Cvoi.

Caif <- -log(Saif / S0aif)
