2. FlowQuant: This has been developed and established at the University of Ottawa

Heart Institute by Robert A. deKemp, Cardiac PET Centre, which makes use of

nuclear medical images to quantify myocardial blood flow (MBF).

3. ImagenQ (CVIT).

4. MunichHeart (Technical University of Munich).

5. 4DM (INVIA)

6. PMOD: Details have been discussed in the next subsection about this popular

software used for quantification of various involved parameters.

16.5.1 PMOD Software

The PMOD software proposes tools for the model-based analysis of PET and

SPECT data. One can carry out modeling of MR signals and also construct geomet-

ric models for simulations. PET kinetic analysis can also be done with an excellent

program PKIN which works with tremendous speed.

16.5.2 Tools

PXMOD tool: A complementary tool to the PKIN is PXMOD with which one can

carry out similar modeling techniques resulting in images known as parametric

maps displaying the model parameter value in each image pixel. Thus, one can

visualize quantitative tissue properties and compare them with results obtained
