Standardization of unprocessed raw list-mode data for emission tomography (ET) is anticipated to enable the development and optimization of novel methods including machine learning. The Emission Tomography Standardization Initiative (ETSI) was founded in 2022 by an international consortium of academic and industry experts to define open, extendable, and vendor-agnostic ET data formats, currently focusing on the development of PETSIRD (“PET Emission Tomography Standardization Initiative's Raw Data“) open standard for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) list-mode raw data. The components of PETSIRD include (i) the description of data elements (coincidence events, geometry, correction factors, physiological signal etc.), (ii) a container of the data elements architecture and its access protocols built with the investigational prototype YARDL (Microsoft Research) meta-language, (iii) a simple higher-level software library to access the data elements and (iv) use-case software toolkit facilitating the basic utility of the standard. |
