[ PMOD Workshop - Washington 2007 Contents]
Short Background Presentations

The presentations provide basic information for the purpose of understanding program operation. They include the following topics:
  • Organization of the PMOD Software.
  • Quantification by kinetic models (Cyrill Burger, PMOD Technologies).
  • Brain atlases and spatial normalisation (Valerie Treyer, PMOD Technologies).
  • Visualization by 3D image rendering techniques (Krzysztof Mikolajczyk, PMOD Technologies).

Program Demonstrations

The demonstrations show how work is done with the most prevalent PMOD tools.
  • Basic PMOD techniques (PVIEW).
  • Kinetic modeling with regional time-activity curves (PKIN).
  • Applying pixel-wise models to image data (PXMOD).
  • Image fusion, algebra, and stereotactic normalization (PFUS).
  • 3D image rendering of brain data (P3D).

After a tool overview has been given as a short presentation, the actual processing steps are done together with the participants who have the same program configuration and data as the tutor.

Note that the following tools are not covered by the main teaching: Cardiac Tool (PCARD), Alzheimer's Tool (PALZ), Brain database tool (PBRAINDB), Gene/PET correlation (PGENE), DICOM database server. However, questions to those tools may potentially be clarified on an individual basis during the open practice time.
Computer Exercises

The users bring their own notebook for the practical work and hook it to a server which provides both the PMOD programs as well as the training data. Several tutors and programmers of the PMOD software are available for practical advice.

A set of processing tasks is given to the participants together with a step-by-step written solution. During practice time they may work through the examples of their choice, and address the tutors for help or further information.
Note: We reserve the right for minor changes of the training contents.
