ecatmrp - tpcclib 0.8.0 © 2023 by Turku PET Centre

Reconstruct PET image from attenuation and normalization corrected
2D PET sinogram using median root prior (MRP) [1,2,3].
This program does not correct image data for decay.
Image is corrected for the dead-time based on factors in the sinogram.
Image data is written in units ECAT counts per pixel per second.
 
Not for clinical use! Program is not thoroughly tested!
 
Usage: ecatmrp [Options] scnfile imgfile
 
Options:
 -zoom=<value>
     Set zoom factor; by default 1.0 (no zoom).
 -dim=<value>
     Set image x and y dimensions; by default 128.
 -rot[ation]=<value>
     Set image rotation in degrees, -180 - 180; by default 0 (no rotation).
 -x=<value>
     Set image shift in x direction (in cm); by default 0.
 -y=<value>
     Set image shift in y direction (in cm); by default 0.
 -perv
     Divide image voxel values by voxel volume (mL); by default the voxel
     volume is corrected later during image calibration.
 -beta=<value>
     Set beta value, usually 0.1 - 0.9; by default 0.3.
 -mask=<3|5>
     Set mask dimension for median filter, either 3 (3x3) or 5 (5x5 without
     corener pixels); by default 3.
 -iter=<value>
     Set maximum number of iterations; by default 150.
 -skip=<value>
     Set the number of iterations without prior; by default 1.
 -os=<1|2|4|8|16>
     Set the number of OS sets (acceleration); by default 1.
 -h, --help
     Display usage information on standard output and exit.
 -v, --version
     Display version and compile information on standard output and exit.
 -d[n], --debug[=n], --verbose[=n]
     Set the level (n) of debugging messages and listings.
 -q, --quiet
     Suppress displaying normal results on standard output.
 -s, --silent
     Suppress displaying anything except errors.
