Abstract

Tracer kinetic modeling (TKM) is a promising quantitative method for physiological and biochemical processes in vivo. In this paper, we investigated the applications of an immune-inspired method to better address the issues of Simultaneous Estimation (SIME) of TKM with multimodal optimization. Experiments of dynamic FDG PET imaging experiments and simulation studies were carried out. The proposed artificial immune network (TKM_AIN) shows more scalable and effective when compared with the gradient-based Marquardt–Levenberg algorithm and the scholastic-based simulated annealing method.
