Detailed Description

Plugin providing classes to process X-Ray and CT data within the ImFusion SDK.

Overview of main components of the X-ray and Computed Tomography plugin. Does not show all classes and some intermediate parts of the inheritence hierarchy are omitted for simplicity.

Some central classes of this plugin are:

• The ConeBeamGeometry class, which is used to specify a (cone-beam) geometry associated with a set of projections.
• The ConeBeamMetadata class, which contains the metadata to projection data (SharedImageSet), i.e. a ConeBeamGeometry object.
• The ProjectionPreProcessing class, which prepares the projection data for the reconstruction.
• The CBCTPostProcessing class, which adapts the volume after reconstruction to match a standard CT scan.
• The ReconstructionAlgorithm class, which is used for CT reconstruction.
• The OptimizationProblem class, which represents the mathematical problem that defines the reconstruction.
• The Solver class, which solves the OptimizationProblem.
• The XRay2D3DRegistrationAlgorithm class, which registers projection data to a volume.
• The XRay2D3DRegistrationInitialization class, which is the interface for custom initialization of the registration via inheritence.
• The LinearOperator class, which maps between volume space and projection space back and forth.
• The GlCBCTProjector class, which simulates the projection process of a cone-beam setup.
