Calculation of a SUV (standardized uptake value) image from PET image
in ECAT 6.3 and 7.x, NIfTI, and Analyze 7.5 format.
SUV in image pixels is calculated as mean value in specified time range.
Before calculation, make sure that radioactivity concentration units in PET
image header are correct. Analyze and NIfTI images do not contain units,
therefore unit kBq/mL is assumed.
Image data and injected dose must be decay corrected to the same time
(usually the tracer injection time).
Command line arguments:
1) PET image
2) SUV calculation start time (min)
3) SUV calculation end time (min)
4) Injected dose (MBq)
5) Subject weight (kg)
6) SUV image file

Instead of SUV (g/mL), the percentage of injected dose per tissue volume
(%i.d./L) is calculated, if you set the subject weight to 0.
If SUV calculation start and end times are set to zero, then no average
over time is calculated, but the (dynamic) PET image is saved
in SUV or %i.d./L units.
