Extract blood TACs with this tool. blo2kbq can extract and calibrate blood TACs measured using automatic blood sampling systems (ABSS, "blood pump").
Here is an example for using this tool: blo2kbq -i=O -d=O -c=S:/Lab/plasma/bsampler_calibration/pump_cal.dat sr452_blo.bld.

Usage: blo2kbq [Options] <Blood pump file>

Options:
-c=<filename>
Calibration coefficients for ABSS and well-counter should be specified with calibration file (2), given with option -c.
-i=<isotope>
If calibration file is given, then the isotope name (C-11, F-18, Ga-68, Ge-68 or O-15) must be entered (if not correctly specified inside pump file) so that the correct well-counter calibration factor can be used.
-d[=<isotope>]
Data is corrected for physical decay; isotope can optionally be given with this option.
-start=<t>
If ABSS measurement was not started at the time of injection, the delay t (sec) must be entered with option -start=<t>. If data collection was started before injection, enter a negative value for t; activities before that time are removed from the output data.
-v[=<blood density>]
With option -v activities are divided with the blood density 1.06 to get kBq/g values, rather than kBq/mL. If blood density is different from default 1.06 g/mL, it can be entered after -v.
-m[in]
Sample times are written in minutes (in seconds by default).
-l -r -t
The counts or activity values are printed as an average of the two channels by default. With options -l and -r the left (ch2) or right (ch1) column is shown. With option -t both columns are shown.
-z
For reading of the measurement date, local time zone can be used with option -z instead of Greenwich main time (default).
-o=<filename>
Filename for corrected TAC data, can be entered with option -o. If not given, then files are written to the directory where input file was. Calibrated file is named *.kbq and non-calibrated *.dat by default.
-s[canditronics], -a[llogg], -allogg2
ABSS produces device-specific file formats; this option is needed if format can not be correctly identified from file extension (*.lis, *.bld, *.alg, or *.txt).
