Dear all

 

Our pseudo-code document has grown considerably over the last few days with a strong MR push. It starts to become a bit more useful I think J There is some overlap between use-cases, but I think that’s alright, as long as “uniformise” them. Do have another look. One thing to look out for as to try to spot similarities between PET and MR, such that ideally we can make the code (or at least look-and-feel) quite similar for both.

 

Regarding coding style, please try to stick to a “somewhat object oriented like” programming style, such as

 

                ; create a forward projector with some parameters

ForwardProjector projector(params);

; now use it to project an image

                data=projector.forward_project (image);

 

There are some comments in the file that need addressing, so if you wrote some code, please have a look at what you wrote to see what others think.

 

We’ll try to occasionally clean this up a bit, and incorporate more functionality in the basic library.

 

The more contributions and comments we get, the better.

 

Looking forward to a productive meeting on Tuesday!

 

Thanks

Kris

In our third meeting we will discuss a second document to define the framework using pseudo-code http://1drv.ms/1Qt4Q1B. This document is currently slowly growing and we need everyone’s help. There’s a description of the aim of the document and the procedure to contribute in the document itself.

 

For further information from previous meetings, please also check: http://www.ccppetmr.ac.uk/softwareframework.html (web-page should be updated soon).
