Abstract
Tracer dilution curves are useful for describing blood flow through vessels and organs. Empirically determined curves for flow through nonbranching vessels have been shown to correspond to a mathematical function called the gamma variate. This paper presents a derivation of the gamma-variate relationship, discusses some of the properties of the gamma variate and its use in problems involving organ blood flow and recirculation.Mesh:
