Image Data Formats

PMOD supports numerous image data formats in reading, and a subset also in writing. As described below the image formats have different properties. Some formats support information in addition to the image pixels such as:

• demographic patient information;
• patient positioning information which allows the derivation of the anatomical orientation in the images (anterior/posterior, left/right, head/feet);
• acquisition parameters such as the timing of a dynamic series which is essential for the modeling of the uptake;
• radiotracer information such as dose and radionuclide;
• image unit information.
