CT projection data for assignments


The data was obtained was obtained from a female patient using a Toshiba scanner at Rigshospitalet. More information can be found in the DICOM files described below.

The data for the measurements are given below:

Scanner: Toshiba
Number of projections: 200
Samples for each projection: 512
Image size: 512 x 512
Projection: Parallel beams

The data can be obtained from the ftp-server. Several files are found. The properties are listed in the following table (click on the file name to get the data):

Projection file number File name Pixel size
1 projections_001.mat 0.721 x 0.721 mm
2 projections_002.mat 0.721 x 0.721 mm
3 projections_003.mat 0.721 x 0.721 mm
4 projections_004.mat 0.721 x 0.721 mm
5 projections_005.mat 0.721 x 0.721 mm
6 projections_006.mat 0.721 x 0.721 mm
7 projections_007.mat 0.721 x 0.721 mm
8 projections_008.mat 0.721 x 0.721 mm
9 projections_009.mat 0.721 x 0.721 mm
10 projections_010.mat 0.721 x 0.721 mm
11 projections_011.mat 0.721 x 0.721 mm
12 projections_012.mat 0.721 x 0.721 mm

The files should be downloaded in binary format. The files can be directly read and manipulate with Matlab. The variable ct_data contains the projection data with 200 angular projections and 512 values for each projection. The pixel values are equal to Hounsfield units and a pixel value of zero corresponds to -1000 in Hounsfield units. The projected data are also off-set 1000 Hounsfield units.

More information about the images can be found in the DICOM files located in

https://courses.healthtech.dtu.dk/22485/files/ct_data/dicom_data/dicom_data_zip.zip

The individual files can be read by the DICOM reader functions in Matlab. An example is given in the script: https://courses.healthtech.dtu.dk/22485/files/ct_data/dicom_data/display_dicom_images.m, which load all images and shows a video with them. The whole file structure can be downloaded using the zip-file: https://courses.healthtech.dtu.dk/22485/files/ct_data/dicom_data/dicom_data_zip.zip. Note that it is big - 193 MBytes.
