img2dft 4.1.3 © 1996-2013 by Turku PET Centre

Calculates regional time-radioactivity concentration curves (TACs) from a PET image in ECAT 6.3, ECAT 7.x, or Analyze 7.5 format, when regions-of-interests (ROIs) are given in ECAT 6.3 format ROI files (1) or as mask image. Regional TACs are written in output file in DFT format (2). If filename for output file is not specified, it will be saved in the default path replacing the extension of image filename with '.dft'. Note that versions 4.x and after apply image upscaling for selecting pixels inside ROIs; this might lead to smaller ROI volumes and therefore affect also the ROI averages and variances. Usage: img2dft [Options] <Image> <ROI file(s) or Mask image> [Output file] Options: -P[=<planes>] Calculate all ROIs on all planes, or on specified plane; by default, ROIs are calculated only on planes where they were drawn. Effective only with ROI files. -V[=<sd|cv>] Calculates also the variances inside ROI(s) and saves those in a *.var file. With options -Vsd and -Vcv standard deviation or coefficient of variation (%) is calculated and saved as *.sd or *.cv file, respectively. Effective only with ROI files. -tm Write time frame mid times instead of start and end times. -median Calculates ROI median instead of ROI average. Effective only with ROI files. -lms Calculates least median of squares estimate instead of ROI average. Effective only with ROI files. -lts Calculates least trimmed square estimate instead of ROI average. Effective only with ROI files. -h or --help Print this message and exit. --version or --build Print software build information and exit. --silent Program works silently, printing only error and warning messages. --verbose Program prints more information about what it is doing. Options -median, -lms and -lts can only be used for parametric images.
