Anatomical PET Image Loading and PET-PET Matching

The FDG PET page allows loading the anatomically weighted brain PET image of the same patient using the Load PET button.

Please apply a crop box if appropriate.

The next step consists of rigidly matching the averaged PET image to the anatomical PET image. If the data is already matched, the calculation can be skipped by activating the PET already matched to PET box. If the matching has been performed before and the transformation saved, it can be loaded and applied with the Load transformation button.

Otherwise, PNEURO will apply a rigid matching procedure based on the Normalized Mutual Information criterion with Matching sampling as the main parameter. Optionally, if the result is not satisfactory, the PET images may be smoothed.

Please activate the Match PET to PET action button to start matching.
