Starts with an assumption and compares this assumption with measured values, makes corrections to bring the two in agreement

A

Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction

26
Q

Used in an iterative manner to extract additional image clarity and suppress noise

A

Statistical noise profiles

27
Q

[adv] Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction

A

Improved image quality
Reduced image noise

28
Q

[importance] image display

A

Diff brightness- see pathologies in different configurations

29
Q

Patients couch inserted then rotate (in-out)

A

Step and Shoot Scanning (1980s)

30
Q

Continuous patient couch moving in while gantry rotates

A

Spiral/Helical CT Scanning

31
Q

Used and defined as table distance travelled in one 360 deg rotation divided by beam collimation

32
Q

Refers to table movement (speed) in going in the gantry

A

Table feed per rotation

33
Q

Pitch [formula]

A

Table feed per rotation/section width

34
Q

[pitch] distance is enough
Can adjust to rotation of X-ray tube

35
Q

X-ray beam are contiguous for adjacent rotations

36
Q

X-ray beams are not contiguous for adjacent rotations [gaps in x-ray helix]

37
Q

There is x-ray beam overlap

38
Q

Getting data from same structure more than once

A

Oversampling

39
Q

[disadv,adv] oversampling

A

Disadv: Increase pt dose
Adv: Increase image quality due to increase SNR

40
Q

Oversampling application

A

Facial bones
Paranasal bones - frontal, sphenoidal, ethmoidal, maxillary

41
Q

[adv,disadv] Of undersampling

A

Disadv. Lower pt does
Adv. decreased image quality due to decreased SNR, more artifact

Undersampling application

A

Trauma
CT angiography (contrast quickly flushed

43
Q

Measure of the range of the CT number the image contains

45
Q

ALL VALUES SELECTED LOWER THAN THE SELECTED VALUES WITHH APPEAR [..]

46
Q

Term for increasing window width

A

Widening the width

47

53
Q

excellent when examining areas of similar attenuation [soft tissue]

A

Narrow Window Width

54
Q
