Before revision: A Patlak plot (sometimes called Gjedde-Patlak plot, Patlak-Rutland plot, or Patlak analysis) is a graphical analysis technique based on the compartment model that uses linear regression to identify and analyze pharmacokinetics of tracers involving irreversible uptake, such as in the case of deoxyglucose.
