The authors characterized a commercially available foam composed of polyurethane and polyisocyanurate which is marketed for modeling parts in the aircraft, automotive, and related industries. The authors found that the foam may be suitable for use as a density reference standard in the range below -400 Hounsfield units. This range is coincident with the density of lung tissue. The foam may be h...

This study was conducted on one hundred and eight patients to determine the stone clearance rate with respect to NCCT –HU density of the stone. Various statistical measures were applied for assessing the predictability about the success of ESWL therapy for that stone’s HUD. As per the final analysis of the study we can conclude that Hounsfield Unit Density bears significant relationship for pre...

Since the introduction of clinical CT great improvements in scan time, patient comfort and resolution have been made. The first clinical CT scanner dates from 1972 and was developed by Godfrey Hounsfield. It required an acquisition time of 5 minutes and reconstruction of one image took 7 minutes . In the following years CT systems improved rapidly and by 1976 acquisition time for one CT image h...

An acute intracranial embolus may be associated with a hyperdense artery sign on CT, related to acute thrombus within the affected artery, a phenomenon that is well known and has been extensively documented. We present an unusual case of a middle cerebral artery territory acute infarct with a hypodense artery on CT. The Hounsfield unit attenuation of the embolic lesion was fat density. CT angio...

Basal ganglia calcification was found as an incidental finding in 42 out of 7000 patients who underwent computed tomography. The calcification showed on plain skull radiography when the maximum density on computed tomography exceeded 100 Hounsfield units. The 26 patients with basal ganglia calcification detected on computed tomography who were available for follow-up, were investigated with mat...
