XDesign¶
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
