Hi Simon,

Sorry for the late reply, I have been quite busy recently.
My projections are 1024x768. I cropped the largest dimension and noticed that 
"half the beam angle" value decreases slightly, gets close to the value 9.951, 
but with further reduction in dimension size the beam angle suddenly jumps to 
~20 degrees (observed value during reconstruction). So cropping the projection 
does not seem to solve the problem. Do you have any ideas how to fix this?

If you require any geometry or projection files, I would be happy to send them 
over.

Kind regards,
Brani

Subject: Re: [Rtk-users] Insufficient Data For Proper Parker Weighting

Hi,
You are getting this because RTK detects that the scan is too short. Parker 
weighting requires pi + the fan-angle to be able to reconstruct exactly the 
central slice of your scan. Check 
here<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FSimonRit%2FRTK%2Fblob%2Fmaster%2Finclude%2FrtkParkerShortScanImageFilter.hxx%23L139&data=02%7C01%7C%7C6a5c9d4d141144d23ea908d8112ba92a%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637278226503872156&sdata=rhmqcGwHfDKDsJy62xyMD2jhf6KMyJ04OwwWwiF8bkM%3D&reserved=0>
 how this is calculated in RTK.
Possible solutions are cropping the projections to reduce the fan angle. I'm 
not sure what are the consequences but they'll probably be small since not much 
is missing in your case. It's even likely that RTK could be improved by 
discretizing differently the integral in parker weighting, in which case you'd 
get enough projections.

Hi,

I am attempting to reconstruct Varian raw cone-beam data. The specific type of 
scan is a short scan, 200 degrees generating 501 projections. During 
reconstruction I get the message: “you do not have enough data for proper 
Parker weighting (short scan) Delta is 9.951 degrees and should be more than 
half the beam angle I.e. 11.2359 degrees.”

Since I have not generated the geometry myself, rather, used a pre-set Varian 
protocol, I am unsure why I get this error.

How could I rectify this issue? Furthermore, what consequences are there to not 
applying a Parker weighting?

The geometry header is attached.

Your response is greatly appreciated,
Brani
