<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi Andy,<br></div>Unfortunately I'm not going to the AAPM so we'll have to continue communicating by email. Let us know if there are developments that would be of interest for RTK.<br>Regarding your questions:<br>
</div><div>1. you can not have both a short scan and a displaced detector, otherwise you have missing data. The consequence of missing data is probably what you observe here. We could add a check to inform the user but there is essentially not enough information to reconstruct this.<br>
</div><div>2. We do weight the projections by uneven angles in the FDK algorithms. This is done during the 2D weighting. Follow the variable m_AngularWeightsAndRampFactor in rtkFDKWeightProjectionFilter.txx:<br><a href="https://github.com/SimonRit/RTK/blob/master/code/rtkFDKWeightProjectionFilter.txx">https://github.com/SimonRit/RTK/blob/master/code/rtkFDKWeightProjectionFilter.txx</a><br>
</div><div>I hope this helps. Cheers,<br>Simon<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 15, 2013 at 8:15 AM, Andy Shieh <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hsieandy@gmail.com" target="_blank">hsieandy@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

It has really helped me a lot in my research! Fortunately a few of my colleagues got a chance to talk to you (Ricky and John, if you remember). Hopefully I'll see you this year in AAPM!!</div>
<div><br></div><div>So today I want to ask you about two things.</div><div><br></div><div>1. Failed reconstruction (due to maximum angular gap too big?)</div><div>I noticed that occasionally RTK gives reconstruction that looks like this.</div>
<div><img src="cid:ii_13ea6ce914b38a38" alt="內置圖片 1"><br>In case the picture is not sent through, the image has a big angular region where the intensity is essentially zero when viewed axially. This happens when I use displacement binning, and using half-fan data.</div>
<div>I summarized all my reconstructions and realize this only happens when the "maximum angular gap" of the projections in that bin is greater than 20 degrees. Therefore I assume it's because the half-fan projection on one side not being able to find its corresponding projection image on the other side. I just want to check with you if that's what's happening here.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2. There is a paper on direct weighting of uneven angular spaced projections.<br><a href="http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-642-33415-3_23" target="_blank">http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-642-33415-3_23</a><br>
I think the idea is basically lower the weight of closely spaced projections.<br>Is this already implemented in RTK?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks Simon !! :)</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div>
