Masamune: a tool for automatic dynamic PET data processing, image reconstruction and integrated PET/MRI data analysis

We describe a novel semi-automated pipeline which integrates advanced data analysis tools for MR and PET with advanced PET reconstruction correction methods (partial volume effect correction [PVC], motion correction [MC], attenuation correction [AC]) in a user-friendly Matlab graphical user interface (GUI). The reconstruction and analysis GUI is written in Matlab. Computationally intensive tasks in the pipeline are automatically transferred...
