Welcome to AXITOM’s documentation!

This python package provides tools for axis-symmetric cone-beam computed tomography. A Feldkamp David Kress algorithm performs the reconstruction which have been adapted such that is exploits the axis-symmetric nature of the tomogram.

This toolkit has a highly specialised usage, and there are plenty of more general and excellent frameworks for tomographic reconstruction, such as:

• TomoPy (https://github.com/tomopy/tomopy) General computed tomography, cone and parallel beam geometry
• PyAbel (https://github.com/PyAbel/PyAbel) Computed tomography based on the inverse Abel transform, parallel beam geometry

This project aims at providing a simple, accessible toolkit for forward-projection and reconstruction of axis-symmetric tomograms based on a conical beam geometry.
