I understand, then I will blur the images during reconstruction.</div>

<p>Hi Inge,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>To be generic and to allow for any possible geometry, no assumption are made.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This means that CASToR is using histograms and not sinograms, because sinograms are based on a specific geometry organisation.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The current solution for you is to use a blur in the image space.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In the future, a generic sinogram-based virtual scanner will be added in CASToR, so that for any modality (PET, SPECT or CT), a scanner could be described as a sinogram instead of describing the detector arrangement.</p>
<p>In this case, sinogram PSF blur will be allowed.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best</p>

Hi Castor developers and users,</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">

</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
A few moths ago I got the code for saving the forward projections (castor-proj) and I have used this a lot to generate PET-data so far. </div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
I try to manually put Gaussian blur over the sinogram data to simulate the poorer resolution of PET data by PSF. I want to do this by putting a Gaussian blur on every single 2D-sinogram. In order to do this, I need to understand how the sinogram datafile is
constructed and this has not become very clear to me yet. I know that every 16 bytes (for my data) describe one bin in the sinogram, but I don't know in what order this dat is stored and whether I can properly separate the sinograms here to apply Gaussian
blur. </div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Is it possible to provide more clarity on how the sinogram datafiles are constructed when formed with castor-proj?</div>
