PKIN Menu

The Kinetic menu is located in the lower left corner and is mainly used for data operations such as loading, saving or closing. Additionally

Loaded data sets can be added into new workspaces, so multiple data sets can be available simultaneously and selected for processing using named tabs.

Quit

Close PKIN Tool.

License

Show license information, including the customer and license IDs.

Settings

Configuration of the user interface and default settings.

Batch Mode

Open interface for batch processing.

Aggregate Parameters

Aggregate the results from different KM Parameter Files in a single table for statistical analysis.

Study Compare Dialog

Open a PKIN dialog window with the same data so that two model configurations can be examined side by side in separate windows.

Coupled Studies Dialog

Fit multiple data sets together, keeping selected parameters synchronized.

Create Synthetic PXMOD Study

Generate a synthetic image series which has a different combination of model parameters in each pixel.

Create Synthetic KM Study

Generate a synthetic modeling data set from the current data with ideal tissue TACs and potentially modified timing.

Create Parametric Maps

If the TACs from individual pixels have been transferred to PKIN, open a dialog window for assembling the resulting parameters into images.

Clear all KM Data

Close all workspaces.

Close Current Study

Close currently selected workspace.

New Study

Open a new, empty workspace.

Save all Model Curves

Save the model curves of all regions in a tab-delimited text file.

Save all Tissue TACs

Save the tissue TACs of all regions in a tab-delimited text file.

Load Tissue TACs

Load the tissue TACs from a tab-delimited text file.

Load Authentic Fraction

Load a fraction curve representing the ratio of parent (aka authentic, intact, unchanged) tracer to total tracer in plasma.

Load Plasma/WB Ratio

Load a fraction curve representing the ratio of total tracer in plasma to whole-blood.

Load Plasma Activity

Load a curve representing total tracer in plasma.

Load Whole Blood Activity

Load a curve representing tracer in whole-blood samples.

Save KM Parameters File

Save the parameters of all regional tissue models in a tab-delimited text file (.kinPar).

Save KM File

Save all data of the current workspace with all model configurations in a proprietary KM text file (.km).  

Load KM File(s)

Load a number of selected KM files into separate workspaces, clearing already loaded data.

Add KM File(s)

Load a number of selected KM files into additional workspaces, keeping existing data.
