_PET Metadata_: Some radiotracer and pharmaceutical information are always missing in the JSON sidecar files created from reading PET scanner data. To accommodate this, a dedicated PET JSON updater was
created. The PET JSON updater functions (updatejsonpetfile.m or update_json_pet_file.py) take the existing Nifti sidecar JSON file and new metadata to add as input, checks that the full BIDS specification is respected (correct metadata but also consistency of metadata values for the different metadata keys) and updates the image sidecar JSON file. These functions are called by the dcm2niix4pet and ecat2nii (.m and .py) wrapper functions but can also be called directly, allowing already converted image data to become BIDS compliant.
_Spreadsheet conversion_: Tabular data formats are ubiquitous in the PET community, mainly to keep track of radiotracer information injected per participant and record time and radiotracer concentration from the blood sampling. Three dedicated functions were created to facilitate the conversion of such tabular data. Those functions allow (i) convert pre-formatted tabular data to image sidecar JSON files, or (ii) use pre-formatted tabular data to update image sidecar JSON files, or (iii) convert a tabular PMOD file to a BIDS blood.tsv file with it's sidecar JSON. (PMOD being a popular commercial pharmacokinetic modeling software [@Burger1997]). Supported formats are .xls, .xlsx, .csv, .tsv and .bld.
