title: Comments on two recent deconvolution methods.
abstract: In a recent paper Vajda et al. presented a deconvolution method based on the assumptions that the response of a system and the input function to a system are described by first-order linear processes. The method is similar to one proposed by Veng-Pedersen, and obtains similar results. In this article a simpler, not new, and now generally available method for this special use is considered to point out potential risks associated with all three deconvolution methods.
