Non-invasive reference Logan method

Source: R/logan.R
DVR_ref_Logan.Rd

This calculates the coefficient from the non-invasive Logan method, which is equal to DVR. Works for a single tac (target).

Usage

DVR_ref_Logan(tac_data, target, ref, k2prime, t_star, error = 0.1,
  method = "trapz")

Arguments

tac_data

The time-activity curve data from tac_roi()

target

The name of the target ROI, e.g. "frontal"

ref

The reference region, e.g. "cerebellum"

k2prime

A fixed value for k2' must be specified (e.g. 0.2)

t_star

If 0, t* will be calculated using find_t_star()

error

For find_t_star()

method

Method of integration, "trapz" or "integrate"

Value

Data frame with calculate DVRs for all ROIs
