Abstract
In this Bachelor’s Thesis the topic of signal separation of dual tracer PET scans is discussed in detail. A dual tracer PET scan is a nuclear imaging technique using two radiotracers to depict different physiological processes. All radiotracers used for PET scans emit the same level of energy, as such the scanner cannot distinguish between the incoming signals. For that reason, the use of a signal separation procedure is required. In this paper an Extrapolation Method of signal separation is considered. A full reference tissue model is used to describe the kinetics of a radiotracer. The parameters of the model are approximated with the use of a Gauss-Newton iterative method. Through the work presented in this thesis, the method shown has the necessary conditions to successfully separate signals of a dual tracer PET scan.
