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