<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Mathieu,<br>Thanks for the observation. The truth is that we haven't tested thoroughly this kind of geometry because I generally prefer to keep the source in the central plane... Still, I have looked into the artifact that you pointed out, which is only visible with a narrow window / level, and found the cause which was a bug. I think this will fix it:<br><a href="https://github.com/SimonRit/RTK/commit/b0dd88821b751671d32ef0fa2f1ff2ae85a4083c">https://github.com/SimonRit/RTK/commit/b0dd88821b751671d32ef0fa2f1ff2ae85a4083c</a><br></div>Indeed, this only concerns FBP reconstruction, SART and other iterative algorithms should not be impacted. Let us know if you observe some other surprising artifacts.<br>Thanks again,<br>Simon<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 6, 2015 at 6:27 PM, Mathieu DUPONT <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mdupont@cppm.in2p3.fr" target="_blank">mdupont@cppm.in2p3.fr</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hello rtk users,<br>
<br>
I try to use RTK for reconstruction in my lab but I encounter some problems.<br>
<br>
I try to reconstruct a simulated spheroid. I join my phantom text file (SheppLogan.txt).<br>
<br>
If I set source_y=0, I get a correct (I guess) reconstruction, see the joined figure1.png. I use the followind set of commands :<br>
<br>
rtksimulatedgeometry -n 180 --sdd=508.1658133423730 --sid=242.7169928585076 --proj_iso_x=-53.500206362627239 --proj_iso_y=-10.768620138555379 --source_y=0 -o geometry.xml && rtkprojectgeometricphantom -g geometry.xml -o /tmp/tmpfs/projections.mha --spacing 1 --dimension 512 --phantomfile SheppLogan.txt && rtkfdk -v -p /tmp/tmpfs/ -r projections.mha -o /tmp/tmpfs/fdk_ccd.mha -g geometry.xml --spacing 0.07 --origin -20,14,-20 --dimension 600,600,600 --hardware="cuda"<br>
<br>
But If I set source_y=15, I obtain some strange artefacts as you can see on figure2.png. Do you know the origin of this pattern (the vertical one) ? Is it normal ? Or my geometry is completely wrong ? If I use rtksart, this artefact doesn't exist.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance and thanks for this nice toolkit.<br>
<br>
