Detailed Description

Conversion from interfile (or any format that we can read) to ECAT 7 cti (image and sinogram data)

PARAPET project

This programme is used to convert image or projection data into CTI ECAT 7 data (input can be any format currently supported by the library). It normally should be run as follows

conv_to_ecat7 output_ECAT7_name input_filename1 [input_filename2 ...] scanner_name

(for images)

conv_to_ecat7 -s output_ECAT7_name  input_filename1 [input_filename2 ...]

(for emission projection data)

conv_to_ecat7 -a output_ECAT7_name  input_filename1 [input_filename2 ...]

(for sinogram-attenuation data)
If there are no command line parameters, the user is asked for the filenames and options instead. The data will be assigned a frame number in the order that they occur on the command line.
See buildblock/Scanner.cxx for supported scanner names, but examples are ECAT 953, ART, Advance. ECAT HR+, etc. If the scanner_name contains a space, the scanner name has to be surrounded by double quotes (") when used as a command line argument.
