Dear Robert,

Could you send two datasets of projections, one for each case ? We would have a look at them and it would help us understand your trajectories. The drawings you sent do not seem to be sufficient to remove all ambiguities.

Best regards,

Cyril

Hi,
I see one drawing only, not two. And the object does not seem to be moving on your drawing, is it? If not and the source is also static (as it seem), this is equivalent to one large projection.

    Hello,
    I suppose there are still misunderstandings with respect to the
    trajectory.
    Attached you can find the two difference trajectories. I also had
    a closer look to
    the off centered fdk ( the paper you suggested). But I don't think
    it is in my case.
    The iso ray passes object center and detector center at each view.
    Off centered fdk
    has a different preweighting scheme.
    You said that the RTK ramp filter is along the u axis (orthogonal
    to rotaion axis). For planar_ct_1 trajectory that
    should fit. As you can see at the picture, the object is moving on
    a circular path but not rotating around the
    center point (red cross in the image).
    Kind regards,

    Hello,
    No. The filter should be orthogonal to the rotation axis.  The RTK
    ramp filter is along the u axis of the projection.
    Trajectory 2: if you take photos by rotating the cameras, they are
    photographies of the same point-of-view. This is what I meant.

        Hello,

        thanks for the link to the paper but I dont have access to it.
        Aside from how the trajectory is interpreted within in RTK. My
        actual question was

        if any of those two trajectories would need another
        reconstruction filter than the FDK Filter. From my point of
        understanding a specific rotation around

        the object is necessary for fbp/fdk (like c-arm bow, standard
        circular cone-beam trajectory).  That’s why I asked If the
        first trajectory needs some other reconstruction

        filter because the object itself doesn’t rotate around itself.
        It actually gets translated on a circular path. So I was more
        expecting a “yes” or “no” to the fdk filter

        or a hint to another filter (except iterative reconstructions)
        I should use for these trajectories.

        To trajectory 2: I think the projections are different. The
        object rotates and each projection shows a different view.

        Kind regards,

        Robert C.

        Hi,

        Let me try to clarify what I mean by "source trajectory wrt
        the object." In tomography, you need to determine the source
        trajectory in the object coordinate system, we don't really
        care about the source trajectory in the room coordinate
        system. For example, rotating the source on a circular
        trajectory or rotating the object makes no difference for the
        reconstruction algorithm. That's why we call diagnostic
        scanners "helical scanners".

        So for trajectory 1, it seems that the source trajectory
        (again, wrt to the object) is a circle but the object is
        offset. This is somewhat similar to
        https://doi.org/10.1109/TNS.2006.880977 except that the
        detector is not tilted so FDK would be the only FBP algorithm
        I could think of. But the situation is really not good, data
        are missing and iterative reconstruction should give better
        results.

        Trajectory 2: what I said in my previous email is true, it's
        useless I believe, all projections are similar up to a 2D
        transform of the projection.

        Hello,

        I try to clarify the both trajectories.

        Trajectory 1:

        No, i dont move the source on two circles. The xray source is
        fixed. Only the object and the detector moves. Both move on a
        circular path so that the iso-ray

        always passes through the pcb centre and the detector centre.
        There is one orthogonal view and the others are the ones
        moving on the circular path.

        (Object is not rotating around its own axis).

        Trajectory 2:

        Yes, the xray source lies in the rotation axis and only the
        object rotates around its z-axis. Detector and xray source are
        fixed and the detector is tilted.

        It’s almost like this trajectory here
        
https://www.ikeda-shoponline.com/engctsoft/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Oblique-View-CT1.jpg

        except that the xray source lies on the rotation axis.

        I hope this helps to understand the trajectories I have to
        deal with.

        Kind regards,

        Robert

        Hi,

        It's still not clear to me but what is helpful is to think in
        terms of source trajectory wrt the object.

        Trajectory 1: if I understand, you move the source on two
        circles plus one point. I don't know of a FBP algorithm to
        reconstruct this, but there might be one. I would consider
        iterative reconstruction first.

        Trajectory 2: your trajectory is a point, the source does not
        move with respect ot the object since it lies on the rotation
        axis. So each projection contains exactly the same information
        up to a simple 2D projection deformation. So it's hopeless to
        reconstruct from one projection only.

        To create the correct geometry, I would suggest using the
        function AddProjection
        
<https://github.com/SimonRit/RTK/blob/master/code/rtkThreeDCircularProjectionGeometry.h#L92>
        for which you provide the source and detector positions plus
        the 3D coordinates of the two axes of the coordinate system of
        the projection.

        I hope this helps

        Simon

        Hello,

        thank you for the fast reply.

        To answer your questions first.

        In this case the abbrevation pcb stands for printed circuit board.

        Next point is the trajectory we are currently handling with.

        Please see the attached image "trajectory.png". There are two
        schematics showing the side view and top view for trajectory
        type 1

        and a side-view for trajectory type 2.

        For type 1:

        The xray source is fixed. The pcb is clamped within a
        transport, so the pcb and the detector are moveable with in
        the xy plane.

        As you can see at the image, the pcb moves along a circular
        path but the pcb itself is not rotating. And let's assume that
        the iso ray

        always passes through the centre of the pcb and the centre of
        the detector.

        For type 2:

        The xray source is fixed and the detector is tilted. The pcb
        lies centred in the middle of a table. So that the pcb rotates
        around its centre

        around the z-axis.

        I hope this makes clear what trajectory i'm dealing with.
        Thank you.

        Kind regards,

        Robert C.

        Dear Robert,

        Your description of the trajectory is very obscure to me.
        Maybe you have a very unusual X-ray system. Could you make the
        following points clear :

        - what is a PCB ?

        - what is fixed/moving in your system (we need this
        information for the object, the source and the detector), and
        what kind of trajectories have the moving parts ?

        - can you re-draw your sketch with just 2 or 3 positions
        (ideally, on similar but separate drawings), each one with the
        object, the source and the detector ?

        If you do that, we should have a clear understanding of how
        your acquisition goes, and be able to give you appropriate advice.

        Best regards,

        Cyril

            Hello rtk users,

            I have question to the RTK FDK Filter. As far as I
            understand from to the fourier slice theorem the object to
            be reconstructed needs a circular trajectory and needs to
            rotate its own centre.

            Please have a look at the attached sketch. With this
            planar trajectory (Object, a PCB, is moved on a circle
            trajectpry  “in-plane”, PCB itself is not rotating) do I need

            a special filtering if I want to use FDK for planar CT
            with respect to the sketched trajectory ? I tried a
            circular in-plane trajectory where the PCB is centred and
            rotates

            around its centre point. And with 100 projections I get
            good results. But with the trajectory I described (sketch,
            attached image) the results are not so good.

            Because of the row-wise ramp filter It looks like there is
            a directional dependency. My assumption is, and with
            respect to fourier slice theorem, that the missing object

            rotation (rotation around itself) causes there directional
            effects.

            So my questions to the experts are. Do I need to apply a
            special filtering before backprojecting with FDK or is it
            just the wrong

            algorithm for this kind of trajectory ?

            kind regards,

            Robert C.
