Software structure
This is a brainstorming document for the general software structure of the pCT project and the operation of the full pipeline.
General guidelines
- support multiple programming languages
- open for the programming tools best suited for a specific purpose and development group
- use common/open source packages where ever possible
- every component comes with a unit test
Software Modules
Main data path
- Simulation
- Beam Simulation
- Phantom Simulation
- Detector Propagation
- Detector Response Simulation
- Readout Simulation
- Readout and Raw Data reconstruction
- pct-online
- Detector Reconstruction
- Most likely entrance step and hull algorithm needed for the single-sided setup
- Clustering and Tracking
- Phantom reconstruction
- Imaging
Utilities
- Visualization
- Control
- Monitoring
