CUDA-accelerated Python utilities for high-throughput PET/MR image reconstruction and analysis
Project description
NiftyPET: High-throughput image reconstruction and analysis
Documentation: https://niftypet.readthedocs.io
NiftyPET is a software platform and a Python namespace package encompassing sub-packages for high-throughput PET image reconstruction, manipulation, processing and analysis with high quantitative accuracy and precision. See below for the description of the above image, reconstructed using NiftyPET [*].
NiftyPET includes two packages:
nimpa: https://github.com/NiftyPET/NIMPA (neuro-image manipulation, processing and analysis)
nipet: https://github.com/NiftyPET/NIPET (quantitative PET neuro-image reconstruction)
The core routines are written in CUDA C and embedded in Python C extensions. The scientific aspects of this software platform are covered in two open-access publications:
NiftyPET: a High-throughput Software Platform for High Quantitative Accuracy and Precision PET Imaging and Analysis Neuroinformatics (2018) 16:95. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12021-017-9352-y
