  • Organ modeling in the quantitation of planar images for distribution studies.

    Goris ML, Knox SA, Nielsen KR, Bouillant O. Cancer. 1994; 73 (3 Suppl): 919-22

    The advantage of whole-body imaging for distribution studies is that it accounts for all activities. The problem, however, is that the classic approach to determining distribution from planar images does not accommodate overlapping structures. That approach assumes implicitly that the sampling region is a prismoid whose cross-section, parallel to the detector plane, is defined by a region of interest and whose sides are orthogonal to the detector plane.
