Preclinical PET data

An open preclinical PET dataset. This dataset has been measured with the preclinical Siemens Inveon PET machine. The measured target is a (naive) rat with an injected dose of 21.4 MBq of FDG. The injection was done intravenously (IV) to the tail vein. No specific organ was investigated, but rather the glucose metabolism as a whole. The examination is a 60 minute dynamic acquisition. The measurement was conducted according to the ethical standards set by the University of Eastern Finland. The dataset contains the original list-mode data, the (dynamic) sinogram created by the Siemens Inveon Acquisition Workplace (IAW) software (28 frames), the (dynamic) scatter sinogram created by the IAW software (28 frames), the attenuation sinogram created by the IAW software and the normalization coefficients created by the IAW software. Header files are included for all the different data files. For documentation on reading the list-mode binary data, please ask Siemens. This dataset can be used in the OMEGA software, including the list-mode data, to import the data to MATLAB/Octave, create sinograms from the list-mode data and reconstruct the imported data. For help on using the dataset with OMEGA, see the wiki.
