Hi,<br>I have pushed a fix so it should work now, but be aware that putting your source in the volume has no sense with FDK because the weighted backprojection in the algorithm consists in dividing by the distance to the source. So it implies a division by 0.<br>

The size of your image is determined by origin, number of pixels (dimension in command line tools or size in itk) and spacing. From this information, you can check if the source to isocenter (point 0,0,0) distance puts the source in or out of the volume.<br>
I will try to correct this bug asap possible,<br>Simon<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 27, 2013 at 6:45 AM, M Miller <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:croow@yahoo.com" target="_blank">croow@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>You mentioned that a reconstruction will need to specify the source outside of the volume. How can I specify that? What parameters would you pass to rtkfdk.exe to reconstruct the phantom?</div>

<div>Hi Micah,<br>I have given it a try and I think I obtain the expected result if you use the SheppLogan file that we provide here<br><a href="http://midas3.kitware.com/midas/download?items=27326" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://midas3.kitware.com/midas/download?items=27326</a><br>
However, the result might surprise you because your source is in the phantom (sid=65.93 vs largest ellipsoid which is A=88.32 B=115.2 C=117.76). You can scale the shepp logan phantom using the following command<br>rtkprojectshepploganphantom -g geo.xml -o proj.mha --spacing 1 --dimension 1024 --phantomscale 10<br>
You will then obtain more meaningful results, i.e., the full phantom will be in the beam.<br>Note by the way that if you use rtkfdk afterwards, you will have to be careful to have the source outside the volume as well. I have recently noticed that there was a bug when the source was in the volume, I will fix it as soon as possible.<br>

<div>I've been unable to project a phantom, or anything else, at high magnification. Here's the steps I've think should work, but don't.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"rtksimulatedgeometry.exe --output=geo.xml --nproj=1600 --arc=360 --sdd=870.86 --sid=65.93"</div>

<div>These are the values from my actual CT system. Next I try using rtkprojectgeometricphantom to create some projections.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"rtkprojectgeometricphantom -g geo.xml -o projs\projections1024.mha --spacing 1 --dimension 1024 --phantomfile </div>
<div>SheppLogan.txt"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Inspecting the output projections shows they're mostly unrecognizable. Repeating these steps with a higher SID does produce the expected phantom projections. I've had no luck using real data, so I thought I'd try a simple phantom, but it's turned out to be not so simple.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is RTK limited somehow with respect to magnification, or are my expectations unrealsitic? Am I missing a command-line switch?</div>
