This analysis is performed by obtaining a time-activity curve of the tracer and then developing an appropriate mathematical model for disposition kinetics of the tracer. This article provides an introductory guide to several aspects of this method, which has been successfully applied in various experimental and clinical studies.}, pages = {1--7}, title = {Introduction to Radiotracer Disposition Kinetics: Analysis by Mathematical Modeling}, volume = {50}, year = {1988} }
