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
Suppress displaying anything except errors.
