<div>Hi,</div>
<div>Yes, I think it's correct. To be sure you correctly
understand it, you can always do test cases with the source
and detector positions, u v vectors in the coordinate system

Hi Simon !<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, I don't have access to B projection matrices.<br>
<br>
As for the detector orientation in RTK, I have made this
picture to make <br>
sure I understand properly how to use the gantry angle to
achieve my <br>
desired geometry:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://ibb.co/J3H8z9M" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ibb.co/J3H8z9M</a><br>
<br>
The cyan detector is the default configuration with a 0°
gantry angle. <br>
The blue detector is at a gantry angle of alpha (largely
exaggerated for <br>
the sake of clarity). So in order to simulate an
out-of-plane rotation <br>
of the detector around its vertical axis, I should translate
this blue <br>
detector so that its center matches the coordinates of the
cyan one, and <br>
translate the source accordingly (along the black vectors on
the <br>
picture) ? I assume that proj_iso_x/y and source_x/y are
expressed in <br>
the gantry system of coordinates (local) ?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you again for your feedback,<br>
<br>
kindest regards,<br>
<br>
V.<br>

<p>Thanks Simon,</p>
<p>I'll investigate more and let you know. Hopefully, it might be
useful to someone else one day !</p>

<p>Hi Simon,</p>
<p>I finally got some time to investigate further this issue this
week. I managed to get sharp edges everywhere now and it was
indeed the detector out-of-plane angle colinear with the gantry
angle that was the cause. The value given by the other software
seems to have been in rad rather than degrees; the angle I found
was 1.15°. This makes me wonder what were the assumptions under
which no effect was found for angles below 2°. If you know the
title of the seminal paper, I'd be interested to read it.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>As for the mean to include this angle in the geometry, no extra
code was indeed needed. If we call this extra angle "c", the
following modifications have to be made in rtksimulatedgeometry:</p>
<p>- first angle = c</p>
<p>- sdd = sdd_0 * cos(c)</p>
<p>- sid = sid_0 * cos(c)</p>
<p>- source_x = source_x0 - sid*sin(c)</p>
<p>- proj_iso_x = proj_iso_x0 + (sdd-sid)*sin(c)</p>
<p>I can't really promise I'll find time to do it, but if it is the
case, I'll submit a PR to include that in the matrices
computation.</p>
<p>Hopefully, it will help others on the list who encountered a
similar issue.<br>
</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>Vincent<br>
