Band-pass spectral analysis, considering specific frequency ranges, enables calculation of separate parametric maps of receptor subtype tracer binding for suitable radiopharmaceuticals such as [ C]Ro15-4513 binding to GABAA 1/5 subunits. Frequency ranges are based on inspection of spectra, prior knowledge of receptor distribution, and blocking studies. The process currently requires the manual selection offrequency ranges based on the data. To enhance the efficiency of band-pass spectral analysis and extend its application to a broader range oftracers, we propose employing machine learning to automate the selection of spectral boundaries. Based on these boundaries, voxel-wise parametric maps can be generated. The machine learning models utilized in this study include 1D Convolutional Neural Network, Neural Network, Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, K-nearest neighbors, and Fine Tree.  \nResults The best machine learning model, Fine Tree, agreed with the manual frequency boundary in 96. 92% of 3185 ROIs. The absolute mean error was 3. 80% for slow component volume-of-distribution ( 􀀞􀀝􀀜, largely representing 5) and 4 . 74% for fast component volume-of-distribution( 􀀞􀀝􀀜, largely representing 5), while the relative error was 2. 83%± 43 .47% for 􀀞􀀝􀀜 and 2. 01% ± 78. 04% for 􀀞􀀝􀀜 .
