o2metab - tpcclib 0.8.0 © 2023 by Turku PET Centre

Calculates the blood time-activity curves (BTACs) of labelled water and
oxygen from arterial blood TAC measured after [O-15]O2 bolus using
a dedicated [O-15]O2 metabolite model (1, 2, 3) to be used as input in
[O-15]O2 model.

Options:
 -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.
 
Model parameters for k3 model (k1, k1+k3, delay) or k4 model (k1, k3,
k3/k4, delay) can be given in a RES or IFT file made by program fit_o2bl.
Parameters and data units are assumed to be in seconds, in case units
are not given in the files.
