Hoffman 2D Multi-Compartment

Main Features „

Anatomically correct – varying isotope uptake ratios – simulation of the activity distribution in a flow or metabolic image of normal and abnormal human brain.„

Seven gray-matter compartments that may be separately filled with varying amounts of radiotracer to simulate a variety, of “hot” and “cold” abnormalities. „

Normal gray-matter: white-matter:ventricle activity, ratio is 4:1:0 (simulated by partial volume effect). „

Abnormal-gray-matter: normal-gray-matter activity, ratios can be varied from 0.25:1 to greater than 100:1.

Main Applications „

SPECT and PET applications include research, system performance measurements, optimization of imaging protocols, image interpretation, and training.
