On Start

The On Start page contains some global layout options.

Presets

The type of the processed data may matter for some PMOD functions. For instance, animal data with small pixel sizes require also smaller default values for the sampling rates and filter sizes. If the user configures the Human, Rat or Mouse application domain PMOD is able to exploit appropriate presets. Otherwise, with the General configuration, the user can choose between the presets during data processing.

With the global Oncology box enabled, the functionality and usability of PMOD is tailored for the the oncology research field. It indicates to the program that hot lesion outlining and assessment is the main application purpose. Consequently:

• The default units for the display and the data inspector are set to SUV.
• The patient annotations (Patient Name, Patient ID) are switched on by default for the viewport.
• The statistics measures of the Volume and the Total (aver*volume) are renamed to MTV (Metabolic Tumor Volume) and TLG (Total Leasion Glycolysis) respectively.

Log File

If the box Redirect the Terminal information output to file is checked, the program messages are saved in the file system/pmsys.log rather than shown in the console window. This is helpful in the case of problems because it can be submitted to the PMOD support as part of a problem report.
