McStas: Tomography

[ Identification | Description | Input parameters | Links ]

The Tomography Instrument

Instrument to study tomographic imaging by means of the new V_sample feature of OFF shape samples.

Identification

  • Site: Templates
  • Author: Peter Willendrup, based on work by Reynald ARNERIN
  • Origin: Risoe
  • Date: June 20th, 2008

Description

Instrument to study tomographic imaging by means of the new V_sample feature of OFF shape samples.

Example: mcrun Tomography.instr offfile=bunny.off -n1e4 -N18 omega=0,340 -d TomoScan
(Note that to achieve proper statistics for tomographic reconstruction, MUCH higher ncounts
are needed)

Use the provided Matlab tomo_recon.m function (requires imaging toolbox, PGPLOT output data
and a Unix/Mac) in the tools/matlab folder to reconstruct a 3D volume of the object. Use e.g.
isosurface to do thresholding for extraction of the object surface.

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
