Figures & data

Figure 1. A dynamic 18F-FDG-PET image series in the coronal plane showing the heart and the implanted bilateral human breast cancer xenografts MAS98.12 xenografts. The corresponding uptake kinetics are shown in graphs A and B, respectively, where the latter constitutes the arterial input function (AIF). Also, the results from the pharmacokinetic model fit are shown.
