As announced previously on the mailing list, the new release is no more compatible with ITK 3.20, this release is compatible with ITK v4.2.0 and more recent releases. We are still actively developing RTK with both new filtered backprojection and iterative algorithms so I still encourage the use of git to be up-to-date. As usual, please report any issue that you encounter with RTK, we are happy to help when we can. Note the l<a href="http://www.openrtk.org/RTK/project/publications.php" target="_blank">ist of publications using RTK</a> on the main site: please send me the DOI of your articles if you want them to appear there. We have also added a webpage with <a href="http://www.openrtk.org/RTK/project/casestudies.html" target="_blank">use cases</a>.<br>
</div><div>I'm looking forward to your feedback. Regards,<br></div><div>Simon<br></div><div><br>Release notes:<br></div>- introduction of the itk::CudaImage object that better handles the memory transfers between the CPU and the GPU<br>
</div>- pre-processing for projection images: binning, median filter, lookup-table filter<br></div>- filtered backprojection with offset center-of-rotation based on [Gullberg et al, TMI, 1986]<br></div><div>- improved Joseph forward projector and implementation of its exact adjoint<br>
</div>- improved SART reconstruction [Andersen, Ultrason Imaging, 1984]<br>- new iterative 3D reconstruction using conjugate gradient optimization<br></div></div>- new iterative 3D reconstruction with 3D TV regularization using the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers combined with the Augmented Lagrangian method<br>
