We present an accelerated implementation of an iterative method for cone-beam CT following the Split Bregman formulation, reducing computational time through GPU-accelerated kernels. We provide binaries of a command-line application that implements the method.
Current Version is 1.4.1.
- One NVidia GPU with CUDA support (preferably series 6 or superior).
- 20 GBytes of RAM (512^3 cubic volume reconstruction)*.
*The memory requirements depend on the size of input and output data.
- Linux system (x64 architecture) (Recommended: Ubuntu 14.04 or higher) or Windows system (7 or higher) (x64 architecture).
- NVidia CUDA 8.0 or higher.
- Support for multi-core architectures based on OpenMP.
We provide the binaries for our application. You can install the files as they are in any folder in which you have execution permissions. Since it is a command line application it is necessary to use a command shell.
- Windows: we recommend the usage of PowerShell
- Linux System: you can use your preferred shell.
Our application accepts the following parameters:
-fi [string] path to input file
-fo [string] path to output file
-n [int] number of projections
-s [float] initial angle (deg)
-t [int] rotation direction
-1 - counter-clockwise
1 - clockwise (default)
-b [int int int] volume size in voxels
-r [int int int] VOI dimension in voxels
-o [float float float] VOI offset in voxels
-c [float float float] volume voxel size (mm)
-d [int int] projection size (pixels)
-e [int int] projection ROI size (pixels)
-g [float float] projection ROI offset (pixels)
-u [float float] projection pixel size (mm)
-p [float] detector-to-object distance (mm)
-q [float] source-to-object distance (mm)
-tv [5xfloat] TV3D parameters
alpha: threshold for the shrinkage operation
mu: weights the data constraint
beta: weigths the previous solution constraint
lambda: weigths the derivatives constraint
gamma: weights the positivity constraint
retroNorm: normalization factor to compensate forward projection and backprojection operations
-kr [float int] Krylov solver parameters
tolKrylov: convergence criteria
max_iterations: maximum number of iterations for Alg.2 if convergence criteria is not reached
We provide you some samples to test the application, a test call could be:
./reco-it -fo .\output -fi .\data_0 -a 360 -r 256 256 256 -b 256 256 256 -d 256 256 -n 90 -o 0 0 0 -u 0.2 0.2 -t -1 -c 0.12 0.12 0.12 -q 132 -p 220 -s 0 -h 1 0 0 0 0 0 -tv 0.0003 20 3 2 0 0.00390625 -i 2 -kr 1e-2 100
Please take into account that the calibration file provided and the data must be in the same directory.
