CTSim
CTSim was written in 1999 by Monica Ring Muthsam as her Zulassungsarbeit, the approximate equivalent of an MS report for future teachers. The program teaches the principles of back projection as they are used in CT image reconstruction. The program has many interactive features and is useful in helping students learn about the basic ideas of back projection in medical imaging. It also has some rather sophistic components about filters and convolutions. However, these parts are not required for students to obtain a basic understanding.
If you adjust the resolution of your computer as described in the program notes, CTSim should run on all versions of Windows up through Windows 7. It has not yet been tested on Windows 8.
The English version was created by Dean Zollman. Please read the translation notes which accompany the English version.
