Description

GE stores "well-counter calibration factors" (a global factor, and 1 per image plane) in a DICOM file (not in the RDF9 norm). We'll need to read this somehow, or let pet-rd-tools extract it in some format.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing how STIR reads RDF9 data and reviewing how pet-rd-tools handles GE DICOM metadata; clarify whether support should read the global and per-plane calibration factors directly or consume an extraction format, then define tests for both factors.
