Basis of Gamma-variate Functions

The MR Perfusion (Gamma BFM) model describes the impulse response function as a weighted sum of three gamma variates. The weights and the Blood delay are the fit parameters of the model. The Flow estimate is obtained as the peak value of the impulse response function. For details please refer to Goldstein et al. [3].
