[Rtk-users] Short scan reconstruction problem - real projection images from Elekta XVI

[Yang Kyun Park]

Hi Simon, 

 

Thank your for the prompt update.

 

Now it works perfectly!

 

Best,

 

YangKyun

Thank you Rune, this was very helpful. The pattern is that several projections have the same gantry angle on one side of the gantry angle gap. Something that happens with Elekta Synergy... I think that the bug has been fixed:

Hi all,

 

We have experienced the same problem as YangKyun in our institution. Find attached a screendump of a short scan, and the ElektaGeometry file. We are reconstructing on CPU using RTK 1.0.0, and have encountered the strange behavior a couple of times without being able to find any patterns. Our images are 512x512 pixels of 0.8 mm pitch, and acquired in a 200 degree scan with the S20 filter on an Elekta XVI machine.

 

Hope this helps in tracking down the problem.

 

 

Best regards,

Hi,

Everything looks correct in what you did. What version of RTK did you use?
It looks like a bug in the angular weighting of the projections coming from the discretization of the integral on the gantry angle. Could you send us a copy of ElektaGeometry.xml and tell us what was the dimension of the projections? We will look into it.
Thanks for the report,
Simon

Hi all,

 

I’ve been using RTK for a year and I appreciate for all the efforts being made by the developers.

 

Even though I haven’t had any problem with full scan images (360 degree scan), I found that rtkfdk doesn’t work well with my short scan images obtained from our Elekta XVI system.

 

I’ve used a command line such as:

--geometry ElektaGeometry.xml --path his_file_dir --regexp ".*.his" --output rtkfdk_short_scan.mha --spacing 0.5,0.5,0.5 --dimension 512,200,512 --origin -127.9,29.5,-127.9 --hardware cuda

 

The reconstructed image looked very weird, like a distorted 3D volume with very noisy patterns (as attached).

 

Note that I didn’t change anything in the rtkfdk code and I believe that the software is automatically recognize the short scan when it is loading the geometry file(xml). (Please correct me if I was wrong.)

 

Thank you for your help in advance.

 

YangKyun
