Cerebral blood flow and perfusion can be estimated using tracer dilution experiments. Accurate estimation of blood flow parameters is a crucial part of medical imaging for effective diagnosis and treatment. This study explores two themes: (i) the derivation of the gamma variate function as a response tracer infusion and (ii) the estimation of impulse and residue functions from tracer dilution curves parameters via the least squares method.
