Produced the initial result for the Image Derived Input Function.  This is developed for the PET FDG priority at the moment.  However, function is just a very general "Input Function Vessel Detector", so can be used in the DCE studies too.

Briefly, after PET is registered to MRI, workflow is as follows:
  • User specified a very approximate rectangular region containing carotid artery.
  • User specify a single "Vessel Homogenity" parameter as a percentage (f.e. 70%)
  • Automatic process follows, the IDIF   TAC dialog pops-up for the inspection
  • Dynamic Framework Input Function is populated automatically so the user can proceed immediately to kinetic models.
Additionally, FireVoxel provides a simple and fast tool helping User to find an approximate location of Carotid artery.
