The Index of Refraction (IoR) Generator calculates the refractive index at each 4D point (x, t). For each time point, multiple query points are taken along a specific ray direction to obtain the refractive index n (δ, β) along that ray. The refractive index is integrated along the ray using the physical principles of X-ray interaction with matter. This integration provides the value of each pixel in the predicted image. By utilizing more rays, we can generate a projection image.
