Module Description

The DICOM PET SUV Plugin extends the DICOM module to support parsing and loading of PET DICOM series as Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) images.

• If a PET series has an associated Real World Value Mapping (RWVM) object, then options for loading are generated by the RWVM Plugin.
• If no RWVM object is detected, the plugin calls the SUV Factor Calculator CLI to create one.
