- <p>Diagnostic imaging in nuclear medicine depends on the temporal evolution of administered radioiso-<br>topes and on the relation between physical decay, biological distribution, and detected counts. In this<br>work, a mathematical model is formulated for the activity of radioisotopes used in diagnostic imaging.<br>Ordinary differential equations are derived for single-compartment and two-compartment settings, and<br>analytical solutions are obtained. The model explains uptake, washout, effective half-life, and the time<br>of maximal detectable signal. These results illustrate how mathematical physics and biomathematics<br>contribute to the quantitative interpretation of nuclear imaging procedures.</p>
