Online EMMA Documentation

• General EMMA documentation: Explains the use of the EMMA analysis package, with examples.

• Regional Cerebral Blood Flow (rCBF) Analysis: Explains the theory, implementation, and use of the EMMA RCBF toolkit, with examples. This is meant both as a usable application for determining kinetic constants K1 and k2, and as an example of how to write such applications with MATLAB and EMMA.

MATLAB Documentation and Information

A copy of the Mathworks' hypertext MATLAB documentation is available for local users only.

MATLAB/EMMA Demos

• Basic EMMA image manipulation.
  • Gives a demonstration of using MATLAB and the EMMA toolkit to perform basic image manipulation (reading, viewing, and writing of images).
• Advanced EMMA image manipulation.
  • Gives a demonstration of using MATLAB and the EMMA toolkit to perform advanced image manipulation (masking, averaging, producing time activity curves).
• Controlling MATLAB Memory Use
  • Gives some pointers on reducing memory use within MATLAB.
• RCBF analysis
  • Gives a demonstration of using MATLAB and the EMMA toolkit to perform two-compartment RCBF (Regional Cerebral Blood Flow) analysis.
• Rat data analysis
  • Gives a demonstration of using MATLAB to perform two-compartment analysis on data gathered from rats. This method is also extendable to finding local values of K1 and k2 in PET studies.
• Curve fitting
  • Gives a demonstration of using MATLAB to perform least squares curve fitting.
• Speeding up MATLAB
  • Gives some examples of how to get the most out of your MATLAB scripts.
