[Rtk-users] ITK ERROR: Geometry is empty error when generating DRRs

Hi Simon,

Many thanks. I have another few questions though.

1.) How can I pass different gantry angles if I use the aforementioned
AddProjection method, which lacks the gantryAngle parameter? What I want is
to generate DRR images for angles 36, 72, 108, and so on.

2.) If I have the field of view origin from a corresponding kV X-ray dicom
image (let's say for gantry angle zero Field of View Origin at detector is
[116.853836060, 4.566089153] in pixels see
<https://dicom.innolitics.com/ciods/enhanced-xa-image/enhanced-xa-image-multi-frame-functional-groups/52009229/00189432/00187030>),
how can I use them to produce DRRs with aforementioned machine
configurations in AddProjection method ?
