52
Q

CT number (Hounsfield Unit)

A

represents the attenuating properties or density of the tissue

53
Q

CT number of water

A

0

54
Q

tissue is denser than water and appears in lighter shades of gray to white

A

CT number greater than one

55
Q

tissue appears in darker shades of gray to black

A

negative CT number

56
Q

windowing

A

altering images to include more or fewer shades of gray by adjusting the gray scale

57
Q

window width

A

allows adjustment of the gray scale (number of shades of gray)

58
Q

window level

A

sets the density of the image

59
Q

mulitplanar reformation

A

images reconstructed from data obtained along any projection through the cube resulting in a sagittal, coronal, axial, or oblique images

60
Q

curved plantar reformation

A

images reconstructed from data obtained along an arbitrary curved projection through the cube

61
Q

shaded surface display

A

uses a ray to stop at a particular user defined threshold value; every voxel with a value greater than the selected threshold is rendered opaque, creating a surface

62
Q

maximum intensity projection

A

a ray is directed to stop as voxels with the max signal intensity; only the brightest voxels will be mapped into the final image

63
Q

volume rendering

A

the contributions of each voxels are summed along the course of the ray from the camera’s viewpoint; the process repeats numerous times to determine the pixel value that will be displayed in the final image
