How to extract text from your RCTD file

  1. Click the "Select File" button above, and choose your RCTD file.
  2. You’ll see a preview, if available.
  3. Click the "Convert file to..." button to extract text information.

Convert RCTD to another file type

To convert RCTD datasets to another format, you need RabbitCTRunner or other Data software.

Convert a file to RCTD

To convert other file formats to the "CT Reconstruction Benchmark File" file type, you need software like RabbitCTRunner or a similar tool.


About RCTD files

The .RCTD file format contains preprocessed C-arm CT (Computed Tomography) projection data. These files are used exclusively as standardized datasets for benchmarking 3D cone-beam reconstruction algorithms. The original format was developed by the Pattern Recognition Lab at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität. The primary disadvantage of the .RCTD format is its rigid, proprietary nature. It is not a standard medical imaging format like DICOM. Instead, it is a specialized binary dump built specifically for the RabbitCTRunner execution model. Furthermore, these files are massive, with the standard rabbit benchmark dataset exceeding 2.5 GB in size. Because it requires a custom C++ or CUDA environment to process the backprojection algorithms, ordinary users cannot simply double-click the file to view the 3D model. Users often attempt to convert .RCTD files to standard medical imaging formats like DICOM, RAW voxel data, or NII (NIfTI) to view the scan in software like 3D Slicer. Unfortunately, standard online converters fail to process these files because they cannot parse the undocumented headers and inevitably time out or crash when handling a 2.5 GB payload. This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert because the raw matrix data lacks standard metadata. Often, only the original RabbitCTRunner software can properly read or export the 3D reconstruction data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your RCTD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.


FAQ

If you want to convert RCTD file to DB, SQLITE, SQLITE3, MDB, ACCDB, DBF, ODB, FDB, GDB, MYD, FRM or SQL, you can use RabbitCTRunner or similar software from the "Medical Imaging Benchmark Dataset" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

To convert NDF, SQLITE3, BAK, RDB, SQL, DB4, MDF, MDB, LDF, DB, DB3 or SQLITE files to RCTD, try RabbitCTRunner or another comparable tool in the "Medical Imaging Benchmark Dataset" category.



The RCTD Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our RCTD converter.
