CT Review 3
Image Formation/Processing/Display
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is each small region in the grid? | pixel |
| What is a grid of pixels called? | matrix |
| how do you determine the number of pixels in a matrix? | rows x columns (matrix size) |
| What is used to assign values to the pixels? | gray scale |
| What is the range of the gray scale? | -1000 to +1000 |
| What coordinates does a pixel use? | X and Y |
| What coordinates does a voxel use? | X,Y, and Z |
| How is a voxel different than a pixel? | it is 3D and has volume |
| What is scan FOV? | the entire area used to collect data for a given body part |
| What is display FOV? | the size of the reconstructed image in the matrix |
| Which can be changed: scan FOV or display FOV? | display FOV |
| Attenuation coefficient depends on what? | 1.photon energy 2.atomic # of tissue 3.thickness of tissue 4.electron density |
| What is one photon sampling? | ray |
| What is one sample location from the pt body? | projection/view |
| What is the hounsfield units of Air? | -1000 |
| What is the hounsfield units of Lung | -500 to -200 |
| What is the hounsfield units of fat? | -200 to -50 |
| What is the hounsfield units of water? | 0 |
| What is the hounsfield units of blood? | 25 |
| What is the hounsfield units of muscle? | 25 to 40 |
| What is the hounsfield units of bone? | 200 to 1000 |
| What is window width? | range of CT #s to be displayed in a image, contrast of the image |
| What is window level? | brightness of image/tissue |
| What is interpolation process? | used to divide data into slices at any arbitrary position |
| What is the thickness at pitch of 1? | collimation is equal to slice thickness |
| What is the thickness at pitch of 2? | slice thickness is 30% greater |
| A pitch of 1.5 is a: | 1.faster scan 2.less samples 3.less available mAs |
| A pitch of .75 is a: | 1.slower scan 2.more samples 3.more available mAs (more radiation) |
| What is Cine? | viewing in rapid sequence |
| What is MIP (maximum intensity) commonly used for? | CTA |
| What is convolution? | process of applying filtration |
| What are the filters used in image recon? | 1.sharp 2.smooth |
| What are sharp filters used for? | musculoskeletal |
| What are smooth filters used for? | abdomen |
| What views do scout images use? | AP, PA, Lateral |
| What are some characteristics of scout images? | large FOV, single projection, tissue superimposed |
| What are the different scanning methods? | 1.scout 2.conventional/serial scan 3.helical/spiral/volumetric scan |
| What is the process of conventional/serial scanning? | scan-stop-move |
| What is the process MPRs (multi planer recon) use? | image-raw data-image |
| What are the 2 steps of image recon? | 1.apply filter to raw data (convolution) 2.apply back projection or cone beam to raw data |
| What are commonly used matrix? | 128x128,256x256,512x512,1024x1024 |
