Table 3

Compartmental rate constants and parameters of ligand binding. , , , and represent compartmental rate constants, DVNS is the distribution volume of nonspecific binding, DVS is the distribution volume of specific binding, is ligand retention calculated from tissue activity, and is ligand retention calculated from the impulse response function. Further details of computations are described in the methods.
