Abstract(in English) In this report, we propose a new method for denoising tissue time activity curve (tTAC) measured from brain PET images. tTAC is a curve representing time variation of radioactivity of ligand in the brain and used receptor analysis in combination with the plasma time activity curve (pTAC), which is obtained by drawing arterial blood. Large amount of noise in measured tTAC reduces accuracy of the estimation, so the accuracy of the estimation is improved by denoising tTAC. It is known that noise free tTAC is represented by the observed pTAC and the compartment model, which is derived from the behavior of ligand. The authors have proposed a method for denoising tTAC by using the measured pTAC and the compartment model. The drawback of the method was that it used the pTAC, which is not easy to measure. The proposed method expands the method: it denoises tTACs without using measured pTAC. In this article, we shows some results of fundamental experiments.
