Development of a reconstruction software prototype for a configurable and mobile X-ray computed cone-beam tomography system
We have recently developed a light, portable, and highly configurable X-ray computed tomography system at the IEM, which is based on mobile veterinary equipment for conventional projection X-ray imaging. For this device, we want to develop a reconstruction software prototype.
Medical and scientific systems for X-ray computed tomography imaging are typically bulky stationary devices. So far, such devices could not be applied flexibly during archaeological fieldwork, in museums or under otherwise challenging field conditions. The Institute of Evolutionary Medicine of the UZH studies ancient human remains to investigate the evolution of human health and diseases. To facilitate our research activities, we have recently developed a light, portable, and highly configurable X-ray computed tomography system at the IEM, which is based on mobile veterinary equipment for conventional projection X-ray imaging. We are currently reconstructing tomographic data sets using the interface of our stationary X-ray microtomography device, which involves certain inherent limitations. To overcome these limitations and to take full advantage of the high configurability of our hardware, we want to develop a reconstruction software prototype.
