Project Description, Aims, Methods, Results, and Literature

Task:

Describe the project, the aims of this work and a short review of that you did and what were your conclusions. List your aims clearly (e.g. number them) so in the next section you can refer to them.

Describe in detail he methods you used in pursuing your project: software, algorithms, equations, etc. Note that:

• Description of your phantom and its figures should be reported in this section (the phantom is one of your methods, it is not a result!).

Correlate the aims you listed in your introduction to the methods.

Example: To calculate the parameters we used in Aim number 2, we developed an algorithm shown in figure 4 and then implemented it with the Matlab code

Results and Discussion:

In this section you report your results and comment about them. Organize them according to your aims, use figures with graphs, images etc.

This should be a short section that reviews your results.

Literature:

If you used any bibliography in your text, report it in this section. Number them and when you refer to them in the text use this number (first referred to, first listed)

Important: In the report include:

• A hardcopy of your code, so you can refer to its different sub-routines/functions/etc in your main text.
• Instructions of how to use your code!
• Also, zip and email it to me and the TAs.

Structure and GUI: A graphics user interface (GUI) will be used for interfacing to your code. Make it functional to help you in debugging and testing your code. Organize and separate the different tasks. As example:

• A part of the GUI maybe devoted to generating a phantom by entering its dimensions, matrix size and its properties. When you run this task, an image o the phantom should appear in a new window and its corresponding matrix (or matrices) should be then available as input to the other tasks (data acquisition or analysis).

• Another part of your GUI will be devoted in acquisition and then if you change the acquisition parameters (e.g. distance of the x-ray detector) and run it, it should generate another window with the results.

Functions: create a folder with the name “ProjectFunctions” and inside it, include the different functions you may have written for the specific tasks needed. Those functions will be called by the GUI as required

Comments: For each function or piece of code you use, write comments that describe clearly what it does. Include comments at the beginning of each function that describes the parameters you are using

It is easier to open separate windows to present the results of your code. Check the different Matlab examples in the course web site. In the windows you present your results add comments what those results are! That way you can save the output Analysis of your results:

Remember that the ground truth, the real object is your phantom! This means that the real thing is your phantom and you will be comparing your images to this one. Images are the output of your code.
