dftsuv 1.3.0 © 2004-2013 by Turku PET Centre
Calculation of standardized uptake values (SUV, DUR, DAR) from regional
time-activity curves (TAC), injected dose and subject weight.
SUV is calculated as a mean value between specified sample times.
Format of the accepted data file is specified in
http://www.turkupetcentre.net/analysis/doc/format_dft.html
TAC radioactivity concentrations must be in kBq/mL, or in another units
that can be automatically converted into kBq/mL.
Instead of SUV, the percentage of injected dose per tissue volume
(%i.d./L) is calculated, if you set the subject weight (below) to 0.
Parameters:
1) Tissue TAC file (*.dft); must be corrected for physical decay
2) SUV calculation start time (min)
3) SUV calculation end time (min)
4) Injected dose (MBq)
5) Subject weight (kg or liters)
6) Result file
Options:
-C=<Filename for SUV curve>
Save regional SUVs from whole measurement time range.
-D=<Tissue density (g/ml)>
Calculate results per tissue mass instead of tissue volume.

Example 1: calculate SUV40-60 and save SUV TAC with command
dftsuv -c=uia15suv.dft uia15.dft 40 60 330 77 uia15suv40-60.res
Example 2: calculate SUV from available time range with command
dftsuv uia15.dft 0 0 330 77 uia15suv.res
