i speculate that if there is no perfusion, then we should give up the 
notion of local 1/2-times--diffusion has a SQRT(time) characteristic, for 
instance.

beyond that, i'd just be bs-ing more than usual.

i think there should be a certain amount of caution in associating 
particular tissues with specific 1/2 times. if the M of your 102.5345 min 
compartment is violated, you don't get an earache, for eg.
