The present invention relates to a method for determining the distribution of an imaging agent in a volume. The method comprises the acquisition of at least one three-dimensional functional image of the volume; the segmentation of the volume into one or more compartments; the representation of the three-dimensional imaging agent activity from the functional image by the product of a scaling factor and a non-affine transformation of a template imaging agent activity; the calculation of a projected imaging agent activity from the thus represented imaging agent activity on a planar surface; the acquisition of a planar image of the imaging agent activity in the volume; the registration of the projected imaging agent activity with the planar image; the comparison of the acquired planar image with the calculated projected imaging agent activity; and the modification of the representation of the three-dimensional imaging agent activity. |
