    Hi Shiras,<br>
    Sorry for the delayed answer, times are busy. The way RTK computes
    the spanned arc is from the second projection angle to the before
    last projection angle, i.e., in your case<br>
    209.609216488925-11.6067737022482<br>
    so it's a span of 199 degrees and your cone angle is indeed too
    large. Like I said, this part of RTK is perfectible and there is no
    way to change this but change the code.<br>
    However, the source of artefacts might be something else. On
    simulated data, I tried:<br>
      rtkprojectshepploganphantom --like original_proj.mhd -g
    geometry_parker_corr.xml -o proj.mha<br>
      rtkfdk -p . -r proj.mha -o fdk.mha -g geometry_parker_corr.xml<br>
    and the result is not that bad. What do you think? Can you show us a
    snapshot if sg's wrong in your opinion?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

                                                          just read the

                                                          modify the
                                                          geometry file.
                                                          How do you
                                                          generate the
                                                          geometry?<br>
                                                          </div>
                                                          For example,

                                                          geometry,
                                                          let's say that

                                                          then you'll
                                                          have to

                                                        the beginning

                                                          want this arc
                                                          to start. In
                                                          the future, I
                                                          think someone
                                                          should once
                                                          take the time
                                                          to correct
                                                          this but I
                                                          haven't so
                                                          far. I'll keep
                                                          you posted on
                                                          the mailing
                                                          list when it's
                                                          corrected.<br>

                                                          <div>I am
                                                          trying to
                                                          reconstruct a
                                                          volume from
                                                          projection
                                                          data generated
                                                          with C-arm CT.
                                                          There are 248
                                                          projections
                                                          with an
                                                          angular range
                                                          of 199 degree.
                                                          Technically,
                                                          parker
                                                          weighting
                                                          should run
                                                          without any
                                                          problems.
                                                          However, I am
                                                          getting an
                                                          output message
                                                          that "You do
                                                          not have
                                                          enough data
                                                          for proper
                                                          parker
                                                          weighting".
                                                          After parker
                                                          weighting, the
                                                          two extreme
                                                          projections
                                                          (projection
                                                          number 1 and
                                                          248) were
                                                          completely
                                                          zero and thus
                                                          reconstructed
                                                          volume
                                                          contained
                                                          artifacts.
                                                          When I
                                                          increased the
                                                          angular range,
                                                          this problem
                                                          did not
                                                          happen. How
                                                          can I solve
                                                          this problem
                                                          without
                                                          increasing
                                                          angular range?
                                                          Is there any
                                                          threshold
                                                          constant that
                                                          I can change
                                                          in command
