A voxel is a three-dimensional counterpart to a pixel. It represents a value on a regular grid in a three-dimensional space . Voxels are frequently used in the visualization and analysis of medical and scientific data (e.g. geographic information systems (GIS)). [ 1 ]
Usually these are acquired in a regular pattern (e.g., one slice for each millimeter of depth) and usually have a regular number of image pixels in a regular pattern. This is an example of a regular volumetric grid, with each volume element, or voxel represented by a single value that is obtained by sampling the immediate area surrounding the ...
Voxel-based morphometry is a computational approach to neuroanatomy that measures differences in local concentrations of brain tissue, through a voxel-wise comparison of multiple brain images. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In traditional morphometry , volume of the whole brain or its subparts is measured by drawing regions of interest (ROIs) on images from brain ...
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.
The signal equation is a formula for calculating the signal intensity, i.e. the numerical value, of an image pixel. The signal intensity S in a pixel depends on the tissue properties T1, T2 and PD of the corresponding voxel, as well as the echo time TE and repetition time TR. [12] The equation for synthesizing a fast spin-echo (FSE) image is: [13]
Usually these are acquired in a regular pattern, e.g., one slice every millimeter, and usually have a regular number of image pixels in a regular pattern. This is an example of a regular volumetric grid, with each volume element, or voxel represented by a single value that is obtained by sampling the immediate area surrounding the voxel.
Computational speed is restricted by the file sizes of 3D images, which are significantly larger than 2D images. For example, an 8-bit (1024x1024) pixel 2D image has a file size of 1 MB, while an 8-bit (1024x1024x1024) voxel 3D image has a file size of 1 GB. This can be partially offset using parallel computing. [13] [14]
Each voxel's value is a tensor represented here by an ellipsoid. Color denotes principal orientation: red = left-right, blue=inferior-superior, green = posterior-anterior. Diffusion MRI is a structural magnetic resonance imaging modality that allows measurement of the diffusion process of molecules. Diffusion is measured by applying a gradient ...
