PETskanni

PETskanni is a digital tool designed to aid in the analysis of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans. It is primarily used by researchers and medical professionals to process and visualize PET imaging data. The software typically allows users to import raw PET scan data, perform various reconstruction algorithms to generate usable images, and then offers tools for quantitative analysis. This can include tasks such as segmenting regions of interest, measuring tracer uptake, and comparing scans over time or between different subjects.

The development of PETskanni aims to provide a user-friendly interface for complex PET data processing. While specific features can vary depending on the version and its intended application, common functionalities often include noise reduction, motion correction, and integration with other imaging modalities like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or Computed Tomography (CT) for anatomical co-registration. The goal is to facilitate a deeper understanding of physiological and biochemical processes, which is crucial for research in areas like neurology, oncology, and cardiology, as well as for the clinical interpretation of PET scans.
