Catphan CBCT calculation references

Dear all,

I need references for the calculation of parameters used in the module catphan cbct.

Best regards

I don’t know what this means. Parameters aren’t calculated; parameters are the variables defining the signature of the method/function.

If you mean the output of the catphan analysis, you can find the algorithm described here: https://pylinac.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cbct_docs.html#algorithm. I’m not aware of a reference that actually talks about a catphan analysis algorithm.

Dear James,
I meant the formulas used to calculate uniformity, low contraste…do you use a specific reference for that?

Best regards

The Catphan manual is quite helpful: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5367b059e4b05a1adcd295c2/t/551ae42be4b046662454b34d/1427825707349/catphan504manual.pdf
This publication is also helpful: file:///S:/Downloads/18CBCTImageQualityofXVIandOBI-Kamath2011.pdf

Oops, looks like drag n drop didn’t work like I thought.
