Explanation of the file types: .bmp = reconstructed images (multiple files), reference reconstruction (single file); .crv = preview file when setting projection or reconstruction parameters; .log = log file listing scan parameters; .roi = 2D region of interest (ROI) used to create a 3D volume of interest; .tif = projection images (multiple files), reference projection (single file).
