# Polyquant Computed Tomography Reconstruction Toolbox
This Matlab toolbox allows direct quantitative reconstruction from polyenergetic X-ray computed tomography (CT) measurements. We hope you find it useful and welcome any feedback.
# Polyquant CT Reconstruction Toolbox
This Matlab toolbox allows direct quantitative reconstruction from polyenergetic X-ray computed tomography (CT) measurements. We hope you find it useful and welcome any feedback or questions [j.mason@ed.ac.uk].

## Features
- Allows quantitative reconstruction into **electron density**, mass density, proton stopping power, quasi-monoenergetic and more.
- Iterative statistical reconstruction under Poisson noise.
- Designed for use with [Michigan Image Reconstruction Toolbox](https://web.eecs.umich.edu/~fessler/code) operators.
- Metal artefact compensation and correction.
- Designed for use with [Michigan Image Reconstruction Toolbox](https://web.eecs.umich.edu/~fessler/code) operators: ensure the toolbox is in your path (by running its 'setup.m') before running these demos.
- Non-negative total variation (TV) reguarisation in 2D and 3D, adapted from [UNLocBoX](https://epfl-lts2.github.io/unlocbox-html/).
- Integrated polyenergetic scatter estimation and mitigation.
- Accelerated ordered sub-sets algorithm with bit-reversal ordering.
