Other versions of Varian OBI have a different file format (header)
Long term plan: improve geometric calibration. Greg has a phantom and associated software. It gives you 6 DOF/projection.
Greg wil have Elekta cone-beam by fall 2011.
Geometry XML file will contain and no matrix: source position, detector position, detector size, tomography position, tomography size

TODO
- Synergy reader: test the benefit of using a lookup table (Simon)
- Varian Obi: where is the log taken in Plastimatch? (Greg)
- Try to find out what the constructors are doing before storing the raw data. (Greg, Simon)
- Send the scatter correction algorithm and ghosting correction to Greg (Simon)
- Run a scan of the CatPhan at the same dose (Simon and Greg)
- Look into OpenCL FFTW (Greg)
- Develop the CPU version of the backprojection (Simon)
- Look into geometric calibration of projections images in Varian (Greg)
- Proposal of geometry file for the next meeting (Simon)
- Generic framework (David)
- Looking at other solutions (Greg, Simon)

- Geometry ok. Add orientation of projections with respect to volume
- Link with Plastimatch
- Cupping
- Raytracer. Greg will try to convert the plastimatch to itk style.
- FDK. Simon will finish the algorithm and optimize it.
