Abstract: A bench seating system includes a plurality of seats, each seat defining a singularly curved seating surface spanning from front to back, the curved seating surface of each adjacent seat alternatingly concave and convex. The seats can be mounted on an elongate support member, supported horizontally by one or more posts. Features of the bench seating system, including the alternating concave and convex seating surfaces, provide aesthetic, anti-skate, comfort, and modular aspects.

Abstract: A method of dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) imaging includes: for a region of interest, sampling the concentration of a tracer liquid in a fluid over a time interval to arrive at a plurality of samples; fitting the plurality of samples to a plurality of multi-compartment mamillary pharmacokinetic models, each of the plurality of models modelling fluid flow in a number of interstitial compartments about a central compartment at the region interest, as a result of flow caused by a source of the fluid, so as to determine a plurality of fitting parameters for each of the plurality of models; determining a preferred one of the plurality of models; and presenting indicators indicative of values of the plurality of parameters for the preferred one of the models. Numerous multi-compartment mamillary pharmacokinetic models are disclosed. The models and methods may be used in DCE imaging systems and software.
