Detailed Description

A class that reads the listmode data for Siemens scanners.

This file format is currently used by the Siemens Biograph PET/CT and mMR scanners. There's an Interfile-like header and a binary file with the actual list mode data. The name of the binary file is given by the value of the "name of data file" keyword in the header.

Currently, the class only supports the 32bit version of the list mode format, see http://usa.healthcare.siemens.com/siemens_hwem-hwem_ssxa_websites-context-root/wcm/idc/groups/public/@us/@imaging/@molecular/documents/download/mdax/mjky/~edisp/petlink_guideline_j1-00672485.pdf

Member Function Documentation

get_name()

std::string stir::ecat::CListModeDataECAT8_32bit::get_name ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the name of the list mode data.

This name is not necessarily unique, and might be empty. However, it is expected (but not guaranteed) that ListModeData::read_from_file(lm_data_ptr->get_name()) would read the same list mode data.

The reason this cannot be guaranteed is largely in case the list mode data is not really on disk, but the object corresponds for instance to a Monte Carlo simulator.

Implements stir::ListModeData.

get_empty_record_sptr()

shared_ptr< CListRecord > stir::ecat::CListModeDataECAT8_32bit::get_empty_record_sptr ( ) const

overridevirtual

Get a pointer to an empty record.

This is mainly/only useful to get a record of the correct type, that can then be passed to get_next_record().

Implements stir::CListModeData.

References stir::DataWithProjDataInfo::get_proj_data_info_sptr().

get_next_record()

Succeeded stir::ecat::CListModeDataECAT8_32bit::get_next_record ( CListRecord & event ) const

overridevirtual

Gets the next record in the listmode sequence.

Implements stir::CListModeData.

reset()

Succeeded stir::ecat::CListModeDataECAT8_32bit::reset ( )

overridevirtual

Call this function if you want to re-start reading at the beginning.

Implements stir::ListModeData.

save_get_position()

CListModeData::SavedPosition stir::ecat::CListModeDataECAT8_32bit::save_get_position ( )

overridevirtual

Save the current reading position.

Note that the return value is not related to the number of events already read. In particular, you cannot do any arithmetic on it to skip a few events. This is different from e.g. std::streampos.

Warning

There is a maximum number of times this function can be called. This is determined by the SavedPosition type. Once you save more positions, the first positions will be overwritten. There is currently no way of finding out after how many times this will happen (but it's a large number...).

These saved positions are only valid for the lifetime of the ListModeData object.

A derived class might disable this facility. It will/should then always return Succeeded::no when calling set_get_position().

Implements stir::ListModeData.

set_get_position()

Succeeded stir::ecat::CListModeDataECAT8_32bit::set_get_position ( const SavedPosition & )

overridevirtual

Set the position for reading to a previously saved point.

Implements stir::ListModeData.

has_delayeds()

bool stir::ecat::CListModeDataECAT8_32bit::has_delayeds ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

returns true, as ECAT listmode data stores delayed events (and prompts)

Todo

this might depend on the acquisition parameters

Implements stir::CListModeData.
