Dear Samuel, Here is how I'd explain it: there are two ITK images, a volume and a stack of projections. Each image has its own coordinate system, defined in ITK by the Origin, the Spacing and the Direction. The geometry links the volume coordinate system to each projection coordinate system (which is common for all projections) of the stack using 9 parameters per projection. In order to center the volume on the projections, you have different scenarios. Let's take one example: - the volume is centered around (0,0,0) (e.g., origin=(-127,-127,-127), spacing=(2,2,2) and size=(128,128,128)), - the projection is centered around (0,0) (e.g., same values as for the volume. Note that the third coordinate is ignored by RTK). - then the projection is centered on the volume if all offsets are 0. If the projection had not been centered (e.g., origin=(0,0,0)), then you can create exactly the same geometry by setting ProjectionOffsetX=ProjectionOffsetY=127. I hope this helps, Simon
