Abstract
Kinetic modeling is gaining clinical relevance with wider adoption of myocardial blood flow quantification with PET. This work introduces the reader to the basic concepts of dynamic imaging, the one-tissue kinetic model, and tracer extraction correction. Key tracer specific nuances of kinetic modeling are highlighted. Finally, possible pitfalls which must be considered for accurate myocardial blood flow quantification are discussed.
