Bolus tracking perfusion evaluation relies on the deconvolution of a tracer concentration time-courses in an arterial and a tissue voxel following the tracer kinetic model. The object of this work is to propose a method to design a data driven Tikhonov regularization filter in the Fourier domain and to compare it to the singular value decomposition (SVD) based approaches using the mathematical equivalence of Fourier and circular SVD (oSVD).
