With VGRECO, you can offer your customers the perfect all-in-one package: Your CT scanner paired with the CT reconstruction functions of Volume Graphics software. Use VGRECO in combination with the VGPROJECT SDK to fully integrate CT reconstruction directly into your system. A CT system with VGRECO automatically reconstructs volume data sets from the projection images taken by your CT scanner and saves them as .vgl files. 

Reconstruction is a crucial step. All subsequent analyses and visualizations depend on the quality of the reconstructed volume data set.

• Makes it possible to integrate CT reconstruction capabilities right into your CT system by combining the flexible VGPROJECT SDK with the modular Volume Graphics CT reconstruction options.
• Quickly and precisely calculates three-dimensional volume data sets from the projection images taken by your CT scanner.
• Supports cone beam, fan beam, parallel beam, planar, and helical (spiral) CT;
• Uses the two algorithms Feldkamp, Davis, and Kress (FDK) and Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART) for the image reconstruction of, e.g., planar or helical (spiral) scans.
• Uses robust automatic scan geometry corrections (e.g., horizontal detector offset correction and axis tilt correction).
• Reduces metal and ring artifacts.
• Improves the image quality using the standard Volume Graphics beam hardening correction or the optional Iterative Artifact Reduction (IAR)*.
• Runs on off-the-shelf PCs; and uses one or multiple GPUs to speed up calculations by incorporating OpenCL.
  

Because VGRECO is modular, it can be customized to match any need:

• CT Reconstruction (Cone Beam, Fan Beam, Parallel Beam) 
• Optional extensions:
  • Special Algorithms (Helix, ART) for CT Reconstruction
  • IAR* for CT Reconstruction
• CT Reconstruction (Planar)

* Technology licensed by Fraunhofer EZRT

The software places no limit on the size of the volume that your customers can reconstruct; the hardware alone determines the boundaries of the possible. The advantage of VGRECO: No special hardware is required. It’s designed to work on off-the-shelf PCs equipped with a single or multiple graphic cards (GPUs) and CPUs (multi-processor/multi-core system).
