Read the Docs Travis CI Coveralls Code Climate

XDesign is an open-source Python package for generating configurable x-ray imaging phantoms, simulating data acquisition, and benchmarking x-ray tomographic image reconstruction.

Goals

  • Assist faster development of new generation tomographic reconstruction methods

  • Allow quantitative comparison of different reconstruction methods

  • Create a framework for designing x-ray imaging experiments

Current Scope

  • Customizable 2D phantoms constructed from circles and convex polygons

  • Quantitative reconstruction quality and probe coverage metrics

  • Attenuation interactions with X-ray probes of uniform flux

  • Use of analytic (exact) solutions for algorithms and computation
