Dynamic PET Data Generation and Analysis Software Tool for Evaluating the SNR Dependence on Kinetic Parameters Estimation

In the present work, a dynamic PET data generation and analysis tool is described. It allows to analyze several factors influencing the data SNR and the consequent correctness of the pharmacokinetic parameters estimation.
