YRT-PET

Yale Reconstruction Toolkit for Positron Emission Tomography (YRT-PET) is an open-source toolkit for PET image reconstruction that aims for flexibility, reproducibility, speed, and interoperability with existing research software. The toolkit is implemented in C++ with CUDA-enabled GPU acceleration, relies on a plugin system to facilitate the use with multiple scanners, and offers Python bindings to enable the development of advanced algorithms.

YRT-PET includes support for list-mode/histogram data formats, multiple PET projectors, incorporation of time-of-flight information, event-by-event rigid motion correction, point-spread function modeling. It can incorporate correction factors such as normalization, randoms and scatter, obtained from scanner-specific plugins or provided by the user. The toolkit also includes an experimental module for scatter estimation without time-of-flight.
