Hi everyone,

I am trying to reconstruct a volume representing an aluminum casted part and investigate the differences between FDK and SART.

Here are the parameters involved: the images are 700*820 pixels and I have 900 projections.  The physical pixel size is 0.28 mm and the sdd and sid are 558.3 mm and 461.3 mm respectively, which gives me a magnification factor of 1.2 roughly.  I performed one iteration of SART with CudaRayCast as forward and backward projectors and I wanted to reconstruct a 700*700*700 volume with a 0.23 mm (= 0.28/1.2) voxel size.  The result is shown on the two pictures attached:

The result is getting worse as I increase the number of iterations

I have a hard time understanding where the stripes come from.  A reconstruction with the standard 256*256*256 volume and 1mm spacing gives a "smoother" result, closer to what FDK gives.  I thought it might be related to the linear system resolution, but unless I am mistaken, I am trying to solve a system with 700*700*700 unknown with 700*820*900 equations, which should be ok.

Furthermore, the reconstruction with FDK at the same "full" resolution gives satisfactory results.

Any help/explanation will be greatly appreciated !

I thank you very much in advance,

Vincent
