Tissue models#

Models for signals, relaxation rates and concentrations in specific tissue types. For more background, see the section on tissue types.

Exchange tissues#

params_tissue([kinetics, water_exchange])

Parameters characterizing a 2-site exchange tissue.

flux_tissue(ca[, t, dt, kinetics])

Indicator flux out of a 2-site exchange tissue.

conc_tissue(ca[, t, dt, kinetics, sum])

Tissue concentration in a 2-site exchange tissue.

relax_tissue(ca, R10, r1[, t, dt, kinetics, ...])

Free relaxation rates for a 2-site exchange tissue.

Mz_tissue(ca, R10, r1[, t, dt, kinetics, ...])

Longitudinal magnetization for a 2-site exchange tissue.

signal_tissue(ca, R10, r1[, t, dt, ...])

Signal for a 2-site exchange tissue.

Liver tissue#

conc_liver(ca[, t, dt, sum, cv])

Concentration in liver tissue.

Kidney tissue#

conc_kidney(ca, *params[, t, dt, sum, kinetics])

Concentration in kidney tissues.

conc_kidney_cortex_medulla(ca, *params[, t, ...])

Concentration in kidney cortex and medulla tissues.

Aorta whole blood#

flux_aorta(J_vena[, t, dt, E, FFkl, FFk, ...])

Whole-body model for indicator flux through the aorta.
