Matlab 3-D Shepp-Logan Phantom
Matlab, Programming March 1st, 2009The Shepp-Logan phantom is often used in 2-D and 3-D reconstruction literature to present the quality of reconstruction algorithms. In Matlab the 2-D version of the phantom can be used as follows for creating a 200 x 200 image:
results into the following image:

The 3-D version of the phantom is not shipped with Matlab. However, Matthias Schabel provides us with some nice code at Matlab Central. The function phantom3D is used similarly to the 2-D version. To give you an impression I have prepared a youtube video of the volume rendering and MPR-views of the created 200 x 200 x 200 volume:

Is there any other phantom model for verification of CT image reconstruction algorithms, for eg. fan beam, cone beam CT reconstruction techniques.

Hi Manjunatha,
I am aware of two platforms: RabbitCT and CAVAREV for assessing reconstruction algorithms.
