Description
Summary:Highlights • An automatic123 I-IMP rCBF input function determination program was developed. • This program consisted of the pulmonary artery (PA) and lung ROI setting programs. • The PA and lung images were extracted by an image phase analysis method. • The region of interest determination programs were newly developed. • Input functions by the automatic and manual methods were approximately equal.
