Calculate FUR-based Metabolic Rate with this program. regfur help you with the calculation of Fractional Uptake Rate (FUR) or FUR-based Metabolic Rate (MR) from regional PET TACs.
Parameters:
1) Input file (Plasma TAC)
2) Regional TAC file
3-4) FUR calculation start and stop time (min); set both to zero to use the whole time range from regional data
5) FUR or MR result file
Options for calculation of metabolic rate:
-Ca=<value>
Concentration of native substrate in arterial plasma (mM), for example plasma glucose in [18F]FDG studies. With this option the metabolic rate (umol/(min*100 g)) is calculated.
-LC=<value>
Lumped Constant in MR calculation; default is 1.0.
-density=<value>
-d=<value>
Tissue density in MR calculation; default is 1.0 g/ml.
General options:
-curve=<filename>
FUR as a function of time is written in specified file; this can be used to study the time-dependence of FUR estimates.
-deriv[ative]
Tentative option for calculating FUR as ratio of tissue derivative and plasma. This does not affect the FUR curve made with option -curve.
