WebCT – OpenSource web-based GUI for real-time X-ray simulation
Scan planning for X-ray CT systems can be difficult due to the large number of elements affecting scan quality. The use of X-ray simulation can answer feasibility questions, however existing methods are focused on experts who are familiar with XCT and programming knowledge. WebCT is a user-centric application for performing virtual XCT scans with the validated X-ray simulator gVirtualXray. Focused on accessibility, the interface allows changing all scanning parameters; from tube characteristics to detector energy response, while allowing full-scale simulation and reconstruction in minutes. WebCT is available as a free, open-source application, giving full control over a virtual lab-CT or synchrotron system. Configurations can be saved, shared, or even imported from many popular XCT dataset formats. We demonstrate in this paper the use of WebCT as a scan planning tool, using a simple CAD mockup to select filtration based on transmission before scanning.
