b2t_h2o 3.1.1 © 1997-2013 by Turku PET Centre
Simulation of PET tissue time-radioactivity concentration curve (TAC)
in [O-15]H2O PET studies from decay corrected arterial blood TAC based on
the one-tissue compartment model.
By default, blood flow (perfusion) and tissue concentratios are
represented per PET volume (including vascular volume).
Command line parameters:
1) Blood file (times in sec)
2) Flow (mL/min/100mL)
3) Partition coefficient of water (p)
4) Extraction coefficient (1 - exp(-PS/f); normally 1.0)
5-6) Vascular volume (%) and the arterial fraction of it (%)
7) Tissue file
Options:
-sub | -nosub
TACs of sub-compartments (Ct, Cta, Ctv) are written (-sub, default)
or not written (-nosub) into the output file
-add
Simulated TACs are added to an existing tissue data file.
By default, existing file is overwritten.
-fpt
Blood flow (perfusion) is assumed to be given per perfusable tissue
volume excluding vascular volume. TAC will still be simulated per
regional PET volume including vascular volume.
-voiname=<text>
Enter a name (1-6 chars without spaces) for the simulated TAC
-vena=<filename>
Save the simulated venous blood TAC
-h or --help
Print this message and exit
-v, --version, or --build
Print software build information and exit
--silent
Program works silently, printing only warnings and error messages
--verbose
Program prints more information about what it is doing.
Calculated tissue activities are written in the specified file with
these data columns:
0) Time
1) Total tissue activity (2+3+4)
2) [H2O] in tissue
3) Arterial [H2O] in tissue
4) Venous [H2O] in tissue
