yokoi - tpcclib 0.8.0 © 2023 by Turku PET Centre

Calculate K1, k2, and K1/k2 using multiple-time graphical analysis (MTGA)
for reversible PET ligands (Yokoi plot) (1,2,3) from regional PET TACs.
 
Usage: yokoi [options] tacfile input starttime endtime resultfile
 
Options:
 -sd=<y|N>
     Standard deviations are saved (y) or not saved (n, default) in results.
 -svg=<Filename>
     Plots are written in specified file in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.1
     format; specification in http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/
 -plot=<Filename>
     Data for plots is written in TSV format for easy importing in Excel
     or OpenOffice spreadsheet, where the data can be viewed.
 -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.
