A Public Domain Dynamic Mouse FDG MicroPET Image Data Set for Evaluation and Validation of Input Function Derivation Methods

A set of over 20 dynamic mouse FDG microPET images has been collected experimentally at UCLA and is made available to the public on the Internet. Accompanying each dynamic image set also is the radioactivity measurements of multiple sequential blood samples taken during the study. The data are expected to be useful for investigators who want to know more about the characteristics of dynamic mouse FDG microPET images before doing their own experiments, and will be especially useful for those who are interested in developing image-based methods for deriving blood activity curves from dynamic mouse microPET images.
