Data can be saved in various formats using the following Kinetic menu entries:
Save KM File |
Saves all data and the configuration in a comprehensive text file with suffix .km. Loading a .km file restores the state of the previous processing with the exception of the display settings. Note that the model fitting history is also saved/retrieved. |
Save KM Parameters File |
Generates and saves a summary of the model parameters with their standard error in all regions. Note: The results of the latest Fit in the model fitting history are exported, rather than the currently viewed parameter set which may be manually changed. Result is a tab-delimited text file with extension .kinPar, which is readable with any text editor and with numerical programs such as Excel. There is a Save and an Append sub-menu, the latter for combining results of several studies in a single file. kinPar files can be aggregated for performing statistical analyses. |
Save all Time Activity Curves |
Saves just the regional time-activity data in a multi-column text file with .tac extension. This option may be helpful to export TAC data for visualization in a different program. Another useful application of Save/Load Time Activity Curve is to append a TAC from a different tissue: first save the current TACs, add the TAC of an additional region as a new column in Excel, then load the .tac file again. |
Save all Model Curves |
Exports the tissue model curves of all regions into a text file. Note that these curves are not interpolated between the frame mid-times. To obtain smoother curves please use the Create Synthetic KM Study menu item. |
Note: Units of the saved data TAC are always [kBq/cc] and [seconds].
