Abstract

This paper introduces the Cph CT Toolbox - an open source collection of the most commonly used filtered back-projection algorithms for CT image reconstruction. The toolbox targets teaching, research and production environments providing simple codes for teaching and highly optimized codes for research and industrial applications. The toolbox has a flexible plugin infrastructure making it applicable to all existing CT systems using filtered back-projection reconstruction. The package is available online for download and modification under the GPLv2 license.
