Open-source FDK is fast and competitive for high-contrast tasks while ASTRA SIRT at 5x the time delivers the best low-contrast detectability; vendor software leads in resolution but fails the Rose criterion for 100 HU objects.

Systematic evaluation of 16 FDK filter configurations on a GE eXplore CT 120 scanner produces MTF10 values from 0.93 to 2.35 lp/mm, integrated NPS from 75,670 to 13,259 HU², and Rose-criterion detectable diameters from 0.93 to 7.74 mm depending on contrast.

Resolution-Noise Characteristics of Common FDK Filter Kernels: A Practical Reference for Preclinical Cone-Beam Micro-CT
Systematic evaluation of 16 FDK filter configurations on a GE eXplore CT 120 scanner produces MTF10 values from 0.93 to 2.35 lp/mm, integrated NPS from 75,670 to 13,259 HU², and Rose-criterion detectable diameters from 0.93 to 7.74 mm depending on contrast.
