*NiftyPET* is a software platform and a Python namespace package encompassing sub-packages for high-throughput PET image reconstruction, manipulation, processing and analysis with high quantitative accuracy and precision. See below for the description of the above image, reconstructed using *NiftyPET* [*]_.

*NiftyPET* includes two packages:

- ``nimpa``: https://github.com/NiftyPET/NIMPA (neuro-image manipulation, processing and analysis)
- ``nipet``: https://github.com/NiftyPET/NIPET (quantitative PET neuro-image reconstruction)

The core routines are written in CUDA C and embedded in Python C extensions. The scientific aspects of this software platform are covered in two open-access publications:

- *NiftyPET: a High-throughput Software Platform for High Quantitative Accuracy and Precision PET Imaging and Analysis* Neuroinformatics (2018) 16:95. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12021-017-9352-y
- *Rapid processing of PET list-mode data for efficient uncertainty estimation and data analysis* Physics in Medicine & Biology (2016). https://doi.org/10.1088/0031-9155/61/13/N322

.. [*] The above dynamic transaxial and coronal images show the activity of :sup:`18`\ F-florbetapir during the one-hour dynamic acquisition. Note that the signal in the brain white matter dominates over the signal in the grey matter towards the end of the acquisition, which is a typical presentation of a negative amyloid beta (Abeta) scan.

This project is being developed at University College London (`UCL `_). Initially, it was supported and funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (`EPSRC `_) of the United Kingdom (UK). Currently, the project is being further developed under the following funding streams:

1. The `Innovative Medicines Initiative 2 `_ Joint Undertaking under grant agreement No 115952. This Joint Undertaking receives support from the European Union’s `Horizon 2020 `_ research and innovation programme and `EFPIA `_.

2. The `Dementias Platform UK `_ `MR-PET Partnership `_, supported by the Medical Research Council (`MRC `_) in the UK.

We gratefully acknowledge the support of `NVIDIA Corporation `_ with the donation of the Tesla K20 and Titan X Pascal GPUs used for this research and work.
