Initialising PEPT Scanner Data¶
The pept.scanners submodule contains converters between scanner specific data formats
(e.g. parallel screens / ASCII, modular camera / binary) and the pept base classes,
allowing simple initialisation of pept.LineData from different sources.
ADAC Forte¶
The parallel screens detector used at Birmingham can output binary list-mode data, which can
be converted using pept.scanners.adac_forte(binary_file):
import pept
lines = pept.scanners.adac_forte("binary_file.da01")
Parallel Screens¶
If you have your data as a CSV containing 5 columns [t, x1, y1, x2, y2] representing the
coordinates of the two points defining an LoR on two parallel screens, you can use
pept.scanners.parallel_screens to insert the missing coordinates and get the LoRs into
the general LineData format [t, x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2]:
import pept
screen_separation = 500
lines = pept.scanners.parallel_screens(csv_or_array, screen_separation)
Modular Camera¶
Your modular camera data can be initialised using pept.scanners.modular_camera:
import pept
lines = pept.scanners.modular_camera(filepath)
