  2. Region of interest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Region_of_interest

    A ROI is a form of Annotation, often associated with categorical or quantitative information (e.g., measurements like volume or mean intensity), expressed as text or in a structured form. There are three fundamentally different means of encoding a ROI:

  3. Standardized uptake value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardized_Uptake_Value

    3-dimensional [18 F]FDG-PET image with 3D ROI generated by a threshold based algorithm.The blue dot in the MIP image bottom right marks the maximum SUV within the ROI.. The standardized uptake value (SUV) is a nuclear medicine term, used in positron emission tomography (PET) as well as in modern calibrated single photon emission tomography (SPECT) imaging for a semiquantitative analysis.

  4. Interior reconstruction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior_reconstruction

    For CT image-reconstruction purposes, =. To simplify the concept of interior reconstruction, the matrices , , , are applied to image reconstruction instead of complex operators. The first interior-reconstruction method listed below is extrapolation. It is a local tomography method which eliminates truncation artifacts but introduces another ...

  5. Hounsfield scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hounsfield_scale

    The Hounsfield unit (HU) scale is a linear transformation of the original linear attenuation coefficient measurement into one in which the radiodensity of distilled water at standard pressure and temperature is defined as 0 Hounsfield units (HU), while the radiodensity of air at STP is defined as −1000 HU.

  6. Contrast CT - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_CT

    CT angiography is a contrast CT taken at the location and corresponding phase of the blood vessels of interest, in order to detect vascular diseases. For example, an abdominal aortic angiography is taken in the arterial phase in the abdominal level, and is useful to detect for example aortic dissection .

  7. CT scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT_scan

    A computed tomography scan (CT scan), formerly called computed axial tomography scan (CAT scan), is a medical imaging technique used to obtain detailed internal images of the body. [2] The personnel that perform CT scans are called radiographers or radiology technologists.

  8. Maximum intensity projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_intensity_projection

    SPECT visualized by a MIP of a mouse Types of presentations of CT scans: - Average intensity projection - Maximum intensity projection - Thin slice (median plane)- Volume rendering by high and low threshold for radiodensity.

  9. Medical imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_imaging

    X-ray computed tomography (CT), or Computed Axial Tomography (CAT) scan, is a helical tomography technique (latest generation), which traditionally produces a 2D image of the structures in a thin section of the body. In CT, a beam of X-rays spins around an object being examined and is picked up by sensitive radiation detectors after having ...
