nh3.vdhoff.correction: NH3 metabolite correction

In traceRkinetic: Kinetic analysis for dynamic nuclear imaging: compartmental models

Description

Implements the 13-NH3 metabolite correction as published in [1]. This correction should be applied to the input function before using it as the input for any model.

Usage

  nh3.vdhoff.correction(input.function, time.end,
    t0 = 0.48, T12 = 6.69)

Arguments

input.function	The input function TAC.
time.end	Final acquisition time for each frame.
t0	Empirical value for the t0 correction parameter. Defaults to 0.48 [min].
T12	Empirical value for the T1/2 correction parameter. Defaults to 6.69 [min].
