Quantitative features in the computed tomography of healthy lungs.
This study set out to determine whether quantitative features of lung computed tomography scans could be identified that would lead to a tightly defined normal range for use in assessing patients. Fourteen normal subjects with apparently healthy lungs were studied. A technique was developed for rapid and automatic extraction of lung field data from the computed tomography scans. The Hounsfield ...
متن کاملQuantitative Computed Tomography
Computed Tomography (CT) is a wide-spread medical imaging modality. Traditional CT yields information on a patient’s anatomy in form of slice images or volume data. Hounsfield Units (HU) are used to quantify the imaged tissue properties. Due to the polychromatic nature of X-rays in CT, the HU values for a specific tissue depend on its density and composition but also on CT system parameters and...
متن کاملThe efficacy of contrast protocol in hepatic dynamic computed tomography: multicenter prospective study in community hospitals
PURPOSE To investigate four different contrast protocols to detect hypervascular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) most adaptable for patients at any body weight (BW) in clinical practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS A post-marketing surveillance of liver dynamic CT was prospectively performed by four different protocols in 415 patients: Protocol-A, BW-tailored dose of contrast media (CM: iohexol 300 ...

متن کاملQuantitative single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography for technetium pertechnetate thyroid uptake measurement
OBJECTIVES Technetium pertechnetate (TcO4) is a radioactive tracer used to assess thyroid function by thyroid uptake system (TUS). However, the TUS often fails to deliver accurate measurements of the percent of thyroid uptake (%thyroid uptake) of TcO4. Here, we investigated the usefulness of quantitative single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) after injection o...
