<div dir="ltr">Hi Solomon,<div><br></div><div>The magnification is about 1.8. Given that the voxel spacing of your volume is 0.4688x0.4688x0.6, the corresponding projection spacing is roughly 0.84x1.08. Therefore 0.3 or 0.75 pixel spacing of your detector would not give much difference. There were just interpolation instead of real additional information that were introduced by 0.3 spacing.<div>If you do have small structures in your object and you use a much finer grid for your volume in the simulation, I would expect to see more difference then.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Chao</div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2016-06-29 0:09 GMT+02:00 Solomon Tang <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:solomoncztang@gmail.com" target="_blank">solomoncztang@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Thanks for the feedback Chao and Simon,<div><br></div><div>My geometry was using default RTK sdd/sid settings.

I don't expect a drastic change, only a slight loss of spatial
resolution if the ray distance at the isocenter (I agree with Chao that
it plays an important role) is larger than the original voxel size.
Maybe it's there but you would need to zoom more to see it.<br>
You would see a more realistic difference if you were adding photon noise to your data.<span><font color="#888888"><br>

<div><br></div><div>I am using RTK to simulate CT acquisitions using different detector sizes to see how this impact on image quality might change some of our in-house metrics. </div><div><br></div><div>The images I have linked to below have been created using rtkforwardprojections with different projection spacings (0.3 isometric and 0.75 isometric) reconstructed with rtkfdk with the same pixel spacing and image dimensions (0.4688x0.4688x0.6 | 512x512x225).
