Briefly, SF projectors are more accurate, but VD backprojection is faster. For example, VD backprojection of cone-beam data is about twice as fast as SF-based backprojection in LEAP. Here we shall estimate the noise and resolution properties of these two methods. The results of these tests can be re-generated using the [d98_SF_vs_VD.py](https://github.com/LLNL/LEAP/blob/champley_dev/demo_leapctype/d98_SF_vs_VD.py) script.

Resolution of CT systems is largely determined by the detector pixel sizes. For cone-beam systems, one can get high image resolution by taking advantage of geometric magnification. Geometric magnification increases (and thus resolution improves) as the sample is placed closer to the x-ray source. One must be careful not to place the object too close to the x-ray source where either the object extends past the field of view of the system or one incurs resolution loss from the size of the x-ray source. Assuming the the x-ray source spot size does not play a factor in resolution, then one may approximate the system resolution as

Indeed, just as predicted, the VD result has high resolution, but the SF result has higher SNR. The SNR for the VD result is 25.7 and the SNR for the SF result is 43.6.
