In this study we investigate an automatic segmentation of internal carotid arteries to obtain an image derived input function for data acquired in the MR-BrainPET. The excellent co-registration achieved with a simultaneous measurement is explored with an automatic segmentation method in order to reduce the workload and intra/inter-observer variability.
