| Upgraded from wxWidgets version 2.4 to 2.8 Overview
Computed Tomography is the technique of estimating the interior of
objects from the measurements of radiation projected through the
object. That radiation can be transmitted through the object such as
in X-ray computed tomography or emitted from internal radiation
sources as in nuclear medicine scans.
Computed Tomography is an extremely imporant imaging technique in
modern medicine. It provides a 3-dimensional view inside the body useful
for diagnosing illness such as stroke, internal bleeding, bone fractures, and gastrointestinal problems like diverticulitis and appendicitis.
CTSim simulates the process
of transmitting X-rays through phantom objects. These X-ray data are
called projections.
CTSim reconstructs the original phantom image from
the projections using a variety of algorithms. Additionally, CTSim
has a wide array of image analysis and image processing functions.
