JuliaTomo / XfromProjections.jl

Tomographic image reconstruction package in Julia

Welcome to XfromProjections.jl

XfromProjections provides image reconstruction from tomographic projection data. XfromProjections supports 2D image reconstructions for paralleal and fan beam and supports a stack of 2D images (3D images) slice by slice for paralleal beam. XfromProjections takes advantage of multi-threading. (To use multithreading, you can run julia with the option julia -t2 e.g. if you want to use 2 threads.)

XfromProjectiions depends on TomoForward package for forward operators of images.
