metabcor - tpcclib 0.8.0 © 2023 by Turku PET Centre
Calculate TACs of authentic (unchanged) tracer and radioactive
metabolite(s) from measured plasma TAC and fractions of authentic tracer.
Usage: metabcor [Options] plasmafile fractionfile
Fraction file can have either of two formats:
1) it can contain the sample times (min), and the fraction(s) of authentic
tracer, and optionally the fractions of different metabolites; or
2) parameters of a mathematical function fitted to the fraction curves.
By default, result TACs are written in files named as *_pure.* and
*_met.*, and if several metabolites exist, the following as *_met2.*
and *_met3.*
Options:
-fnpure=<filename>
Replace default filename parent tracer TAC.
-fnmet=<filename>
Replace default filename for the plasma metabolite TAC.
-fnmet2=<filename>
Replace default filename the second plasma metabolite TAC.
-fnmet3=<filename>
Replace default filename the 3rd plasma metabolite TAC.
-pure=<id>
The result file is named by adding specified id text before file
extension, instead of the default '_pure'.
-met=<id>
The result file is named by adding specified id text before file
name extension, instead of the default '_met'.
-met2=<id>
The result file is named by adding specified id text before file
name extension, instead of the default '_met2'.
-met3=<id>
The result file is named by adding specified id text before file
name extension, instead of the default '_met3'.
