simimyoc 0.2.0 © 2013 by Turku PET Centre
Simulate dynamic PET image of heart. Approach is very simplistic and
only applicable to software testing and basic simulations:
only one image plane is produced, containing a ring representing myocardial
muscle surrounding LV cavity.
Usage: simimyoc [Options] <TAC data file> <Image file>
TAC data file must contain the time-activity curves of myocardial muscle,
blood in LV cavity, and optionally background surrounding the heart.
Sample times in TAC file are used as time frames of the simulated image.
Options:
-dim=<Image x and y dimension in pixels>
Set image dimension; by default 128
-3D
Simulation in 3D (note that computation may take time)
-pxlsize=<Voxel size (mm)>
Set image voxel size; by default 1 mm
-fwhm=<FWHM (mm)>
Set image resolution; by default 8 mm
-thickness=<Myocardial wall thickness (mm)>
Set (relaxed) myocardial wall thickness; by default 10 mm
-diameter=<Max LV cavity diameter (mm)>
Set maximal LV cavity diameter; by default 52 mm
-diamin=<Min LV cavity diameter (fraction)>
Set minimum LV cavity diameter as fraction of max diameter;
by default 0.62
-bif=<Image filename>
Save heart beat phases separately as image planes
