Abstract

15O-oxygen is metabolized carbon dioxide and converts to 15O-water in myocardial mitochondria. To determine the rate of this reaction from the analysis of time activity curves obtained via positron emission tomography or from outflow dilution curves, we apply a mathematical model accounting for convective and transmembrane transport, for transformation in tissue and for measures of the anatomic structures. The model describes gradients in concentrations along capillary tissue units, permeation of endothelial and parenchymal cell barriers (using appropriate binding spaces to account for O2 binding to hemoglobin and myoglobin), production of 15O-water in parenchymal cells, and the permeation and transport of 15O-water into effluent blood. The modeling analysis gives estimates of rates of oxygen consumption which are within a few percent of estimates obtained by the standard Fick technique which uses the product of flow times the arteriovenous differences in oxygen concentrations.
