Image Acquisition
-----------------

Acquiring a scan of a CatPhan has a few simple requirements:

#. The field of view must be larger than the phantom diameter + a few cm for clearance.
#. All modules must be visible.

.. warning::

This can cause strange results if not all modules are scanned. Furthermore, aligning axially to the white dots
on the side of the catphan will not catch the inferior modules on a typical CBCT scan. We suggest
aligning to the center of the HU module (the module inferior to the white dots) when acquiring via CBCT.

Typical Use
