tocr - tpcclib 0.8.1 © 2025 by Turku PET Centre

Convert the head-curve (count-rate) data file from ECAT HR+ (*.r) or
HRRT (*.hc) to TAC file format that is suitable for correction of 
time delay between blood/plasma and tissue TACs.
Some usual errors in count-rate data is automatically corrected.
Output data is corrected for physical decay.
 
Usage: tocr [Options] headcurve isotope outputfile
 
Options:
 -min | -sec
     Sample times are written in minutes or seconds;
     by default in sec for tracers with short half-life, otherwise in min.
 -copy
     If file is not in HR+ or HRRT head-curve format, it is still saved
     with the new name.
 -f=<format-id>
 -format=<format-id>
     Accepted format-id's for the output count-rate file:
     CSV-INT   - CSV format with semicolons and decimal commas.
     CSV-UK    - CSV format with commas and decimal points.
     TSV-INT   - TSV format with tabs and decimal commas.
     TSV-UK    - TSV format with tabs and decimal points.
     PMOD      - PMOD tac and bld format.
     DFT       - TPC TAC format (default).
     SIMPLE    - txt file with tabs and decimal points.
 -h, --help
     Display usage information on standard output and exit.
 -v, --version
     Display version and compile information on standard output and exit.
 -d[n], --debug[=n], --verbose[=n]
     Set the level (n) of debugging messages and listings.
 -q, --quiet
     Suppress displaying normal results on standard output.
 -s, --silent
