sim_rtcm - tpcclib 0.8.0 © 2023 by Turku PET Centre

Simulation of PET tissue time-radioactivity concentration curves (TAC) from
reference tissue TAC based on a selected reference tissue input compartment
model.
Available reference tissue input models, and model parameters:
  FRTM; (Full) reference tissue model; R1, k2, k3, BP [1]
  SRTM: Simplified reference tissue model; R1, k2, BP [2]
  RRTM: Reduced reference tissue model; R1, k2, k3 (k4=0)
  TRTM: Transport-limited reference tissue model; R1, k2, k3 [3]
 
Usage: sim_rtcm [options] parfile [reffile simfile]
 
Options:
 -model=<FRTM|SRTM|RRTM|TRTM>
     Select the model used to simulate the TACs; by default the model is
     read from the parameter file.
 -sub | -nosub
     TACs of sub-compartments (Cf and Cb) are also written (-sub) into
     simfile, or not written (-nosub, default); effective only with FRTM.
 -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.
 
To create a template parameter file, do not enter names for reference TAC
and simulated TACs, but give the model with option -model.
