Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has been of utmost importance for helping the diagnostics of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease(AD). Radiolabeled drugs help quantifying the amount of deposition of beta-amyloid in the brain which can be a strong indication for AD. In this work, using data coming from an experiment at the Brain Institute with Pittsburgh Compound-B (11C-PIB) as a marker, we propose a two-tissue reversible compartment model as a mathematical modeling in the quantitative analysis of the 11C-PIB. Laplace Transform is applied to solve the corresponding system of differential equations for CILAMCE 2017
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
