Estimate of FDG Excretion by means of Compartmental Analysis and Ant Colony Optimization of Nuclear Medicine Data

Figure 3

Analysis of real data from one of the murine models. Results obtained with the following ACO parameters: , , , and for 20 runs of ACO. (a) Red line represents ; blue dots represent while green dots represent . (b) Superimposition of concentrations in the bladder (green) and in the kidneys (blue) computed by solving the forward problem where the tracer coefficients are reconstructed by ACO. The error bars are Poisson that correspond to the square root of the measured counts.
