CCPi aims to provide the UK tomography community with a toolbox of algorithms that increases the quality and level of information that can be extracted by computed tomography. Chaired by Prof Philip Withers (University of Manchester); co-ordinated by staff in the Scientific Computing Department STFC; led by a working group of experimental and theoretical academics with links to Diamond Light Source, ISIS and Industry.

During this Marie Curie Career Integration Grant (CIG) the fellow has has developed an OpenSource library, gVirtualXRay, to simulate X-ray attenuation on graphics cards (https://gvirtualxray.sourceforge.io/). It can be used in various applications, such as tomography reconstruction in medical physics, or in virtual reality training simulators. The library provides visually realistic rendering methods of inner organs (e.g. liver, diaphragm, and lungs).
