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.
- Image registration, normalisation and fusion.
- Visualization by 3D image rendering techniques.

Program Demonstrations |
|
|
The demonstrations show how work is done with the most popular 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).
Note that due to time limitations, the following PMOD tools can only be covered marginally: cardiac modeling (PCARD), Alzheimer's (PALZ), and normal brain database (PBRAINDB). However, related questions may be discussed on an individ- ual basis during the computer exercises. We reserve the right for minor changes of the course content without notification.

Computer Exercises and PMOD Workbook |
| |
The participants are required to bring their own notebooks. At least 1GB RAM will be needed. The participants will be asked to conduct a number of exercises on their notebooks, using the supplied USB flash key. At the outset of the course, the "PMOD Workbook" will be distributed, a concise 36-page step-by-step tutorial of all major PMOD tools as well as of database management. The exercises will consist of a set of processing tasks whose solution is detailed in the workbook. Note that the workbook is also available for download from the PMOD website, via the sections reserved for PMOD license owners/requesters of PMOD trial licenses. The course builds heavily upon the workbook, yet it provides much needed context information and yields a personalized learning experience way beyond the workbook, based on the participants' questions, concerns, priorities, research studies, and data, if available.
