Summary

This notebook shows how to replicate a real CT scan acquisition taking into account the source and detector properties as finely as possible. We’ll use the metadata generated by the device to create a human-friendly JSON file that describes our virtual experiment.

Aims of this session

1. The aim of this session is to replicate an actual scan.
2. To achieve this, the main objectives are to:
   1. Identify the parameters are of importance in the metadata file(s) produced by the device.
   2. Describe the simulation and reconstruction in a human-friendly file.
   3. Run the simulation using this file instead of writing a lot of Python code.
   4. Perform the reconstruction using CIL.
