AIR Tools II – a MATLAB toolbox of algebraic iterative reconstruction methods for CTMS33

AIR Tools II is a much expanded and improved modular implementation of the AIR Tools toolbox from 2012. It offers many easy-to-use SIRT, ART and column-action reconstruction methods in a consistent framework complete with a range of stopping criteria, relaxation parameter selection strategies and numerous test problems. Major new features and use cases are demonstrated, including application to large-scale real data by interfacing to external GPU-accelerated implementations of forward and back-projection operations.
