  • Title: The derivation of the gamma-variate relationship for tracer dilution curves.
    Author: Davenport R.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1983 Oct; 24(10):945-8. PubMed ID: 6352876.
    Abstract:
    Tracer dilution curves are useful for describing blood flow through vessels and organs. Empirically determined curves for flow through nonbranching vessels have been shown to correspond to a mathematical function called the gamma variate. This paper presents a derivation of the gamma-variate relationship, discusses some of the properties of the gamma variate and its use in problems involving organ blood flow and recirculation.
