CBF values and images were calculated using a basis function implementation of the single-tissue compartment model [34 (link)–36 (link)], as implemented in the Turku PET Centre library tools [37 ], using either the BSIF or IDIF as input function. Only the first 5 min of the acquisition were used. Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) values were extracted for all regions as defined using the Hammers atlas [38 (link)] after spatial normalisation to a common MNI (ICBM 152 [39 (link), 40 (link)]) space using FSL [41 (link), 42 ] (Additional file 1: Fig. S1).
