Syntax Walk Through of the Installation

 

Program Summary

 

R

Reconstructs sinogram data in interfile format.

Can take into account attenuation, scatter, camera blur, fanbeam, tranmission, geometric mean, noise and other affects to provide best reconstruction.

 

P

Projects lambda data (or phantoms) to produce a simulated sinogram.

Useful for research to test R or other reconstruction software. Projection will include as many affects as you wish to specify e.g. attenuation, noise, camera blur.

Program can also output the PBD matrix that it would use for the projection process.

 

Slice

Slice an interfile.

The slices from the interfile can have an orientation change, number format change, can be merged and/or discarded.

Useful if you wish to "prune" your data down to manageable amounts before reconstructing. Or if you wish to pluck out 180 degree from a 360 degree data set.

 

IfInfo

Displays information about the contents of interfiles.

Information includes; Whether the file is a lambda or sinogram; Dimensions; Number format; and total, average, minimum and maximum counts for each slice.

 

Miscellaneous

Other programs include...

OSEMTF which will reconstruct time slice data without the memory overhead of doing it all at once. It simply reconstructs each time slice seperately then places them together when all are completed.

MCATToInterfile convert output from MCAT phantom program to Interfiles.

ModIF allows you to modify the key pairs within an Interfile header.

Xp, Xp1, XpBatch allow creation of abitrary timeslice data. Don't ask for help on these programs. They are included as is for those who want to try to use them.
