Time courses of 11C activity from a typical study after an intravenous injection over 1 min of 0.31 GBq L-[1-11C]leucine in primary visual cortex (A) and internal/external capsule (B). Open circles (
) represent the total activity measured at each time point in the ROI. The solid lines are the activities predicted by the model. It was assumed that 11CO2 made a negligible contribution to the total activity.
