The `System Modeling` component considers the system matrix $H$, as well as additional corrections such as scatter $s$. Selecting `Attenuation Correction` enables attenuation correction during reconstruction; users must specify a corresponding CT image used to generate a mu-map. Selecting `Collimator Detector Response Modeling` enables modeling of the collimator and detector spatial resolution in image reconstruction. Users must specify the collimator code, defined on [the PyTomography data page](https://pytomography.readthedocs.io/en/latest/data_tables/collimator_data.html#collimator-data-index), as well as the intrinsic spatial resolution of the scintillator crystals. Selecting `Scatter Correction` enables scatter correction during reconstruction; users must select the scatter correction method as well as supporting data required for the method.

The third component, likelihoods, considers the likelihood function $L$. Currently, the extension only supports the `PoissonLogLikelihood` likelihood, which correctly describes the data acquired in SPECT imaging. It may be desirable in the future to test alternative likelihood functions, so this is left as a seperate module.

The fourth component, algorithms, considers the reconstruction algorithm $A$. Currently, the extension supports the ordered subset expectation maximum (OSEM) [@osem], block sequential regularized expectation maximum (BSREM) [@BSREM] and ordered subset maximum a posteriori one step late (OSMAPOSL) [@OSL] algorithms. Regularized algorithms can use the quadratic, log-cosh, and relative difference penalty [@RDP] priors; these priors can also utilize a provided anatomical image to modify the weighting by only including contributions from the top N neighbours. Additional algorithms may be added based on community request.

The `Data Converters` component permits the conversion of raw SPECT data from various file formats (such as `SIMIND`[@simind] and `GATE`[@gate]) into DICOM format so it can be loaded using the native data readers of `3D Slicer`. While the extension currently has support for the conversion of `SIMIND` data, more data converters may be added in the future depending on community request. The `Post-Reconstruction` component contains functionality that is applicable for use on reconstructed images. One such example is the computation of uncertainty on total counts within segmented regions of interest.
