dftcbv 1.1.2 © 2004-2014 by Turku PET Centre
Subtracts the contribution of vascular radioactivity from regional
PET TACs. Vascular volume fraction Vb can be given as a value that is
common to all regions, or as regional values in a TAC file, calculated
from a [O-15]CO study.
Usage: dftcbv <Regional TAC file> <Blood TAC> <Vb> <Output TAC file>
Options:
-n
Negative TAC values are set to 0.
-p
Equation Ct=Cpet-Vb*Cb is applied; this is the default mode.
-t
Equation Ct=(Cpet-Vb*Cb)/(1-Vb) is applied.
-sim
Simulate the contribution of vascular radioactivity instead of
correcting for it, calculating Cpet from Ct using equations above.

Example 1:
dftcbv uo372.dat uo372ab.kbq 0.045 uo372cbv.dat
Example 2:
dftcbv uo372.dft uo372ab.kbq uo372vb.dft uo372cbv.dft
Vb values that are >=1.0 are assumed to be percentages.
Blood TAC can be given in a separate file, or as a region name inside
regional TAC file.
