To Do

Urgent

• Nada

Higher priority

• Work on progress report
• Implement phantoms to be used to determine MTF and CDF in Geant4: one uniform phantom with a single central non-uniform pixel and another truly uniform phantom
• Write code for benchmarking metrics analysis: MTF, CDF, noise and relative error
• Get in touch with R Schulte to get access to DROP and TVS-DROP algorithms
• Run preliminary simulations to test the metrics

Lower priority

• Do reconstruction of simulation with >1 billion protons
• Convert ITK images to DICOM
• Assign ID to each proton to simplify matching
  • Concatenating run ID and event ID to a long string does not work as the string is truncated for some reason.
  • Alternative: Use a short hash? -> Need a hash function
