About COMKAT R3
COMKAT R3 is released in January 2008. It is the latest release of COMKAT.
System requirement
OS: Mac OS, Linux and Windows.
Matlab: As the mex files are compiled under different versions of Matlab, COMKAT on different platforms requires different Matlab release.
- On Windows: Matlab 7 and above
- On PowerPC-based Mac OS: Matlab R14 sp1 and above
- On Intel-based Mac OS: Matlab 2007a and above
- On Linux: Matlab R14 and above
Download
New features
1. More powerful COMKAT Image Tool: Enhanced image fusion, display, ROI and VOI tools, etc.
2. Input function estimation: Estimate input function from the heart images without blood samples.
3. Graphical methods such as Patlak, Gunn methods and more.
4. Fast DICOM loading: Compiled functions for loading DICOM images and headers that are about 10 times faster than Matlab built-in functions.
5. Complete support on Mac OS and Linux.
6. Various bug fixes that make COMKAT run more smoothly.
7. Supports more image formats such as Analyze and NIFTI.
Installation
1. Download COMKAT_R3.zip.
2. Unzip it to your computer.
3. Set up search path for COMKAT. You may do either of the following:
(1) Open Matlab, run 'SetComkatPath.m' under the COMKAT root folder.
Or
(2) You may set up the paths manually. First, open Matlab and go to File -> Set Path. Click 'Add folder' and select the following folders. (COMKATROOT is the root folder that you unzip COMKAT files under.)
COMKATROOT/
COMKATROOT/comkat_GUI
COMKATROOT/ComkatImageTool
COMKATROOT/utilities
COMKATROOT/validation
After that, click 'Add subfolders' and select COMKATROOT/ImageReadingFunctions.
4. In Matlab, execute command 'validate'. Validation suite should pop up and allow you to examine if results are correctly generated on your computer.
NOTE Mac users: To display tables in the COMKAT GUI properly, you have to set up your Matlab startup option to show Java elements by following these steps:
- Find file named "Matlab" under Matlab_root/bin/mac (Matlab_root is your Matlab directory)
- Press "ctrl" and click on the file "Matlab" (at the same time)
- Select "Show Package Contents"
- Another finder window should popup showing "Contents", enter this folder
- Find a file named " launch_matlab.sh"
- Open this file by TextEdit or any other editor
- Modify the following line: $SHELL -c 'bin/mac/setsid bin/matlab -desktop -display :0.0 & to $SHELL -c 'bin/mac/setsid bin/matlab -useJavaGUI -desktop -display :0.0 &
- Save "launch_matlab.sh"
