Shepp–Logan phantom

Image of a Shepp-Logan Phantom used primarily in Tomography reconstruction

The SheppLogan phantom is a standard test image created by Larry Shepp and Benjamin F. Logan for their 1974 paper The Fourier Reconstruction of a Head Section. It serves as the model of a human head in the development and testing of image reconstruction algorithms.[1][2][3][4]

Definition

The function describing the phantom is defined[1] using 10 ellipses inside 2x2 square

Ellipses Center Major Axis Minor Axis Theta Gray Level
a (0,0) 0.69 0.92 0 2
b (0,-.0184) 0.6624 0.874 0 -0.98
C ( .22, 0) 0.11 0.31 -18° -0.02
d (-.22,0) 0.16 0.41 18° -0.02
e (0,.35) 0.21 0.25 0 0.01
f (0,.1) 0.046 0.046 0 0.01
g (0,-.1) 0.046 0.046 0 0.01
h (-.08,-.605) 0.046 0.023 0 0.01
i (0,-.605) 0.023 0.023 0 0.01
j (.06,-.605) 0.023 0.046 0 0.01
