? Increment ? ? Overlap ? Slice Thickness Overlapping Image Reconstruction Increment Slice Thickness Overlap of slices Closer image interval More images created Increment Slice Thickness Gaps between slices Images are further apart Less images created Image Reconstruction with Gaps ? Increment ? Slice Thickness Standard CT / Slice Imaging Deep Inspiration Shallow Inspiration Misregistration due to different respiratory levels between slices Partial Volume Effect Unable to resconstruct images at arbitrary position Slice imaging is slow Scan the whole region of interest in one breath hold Reconstruction of overlapping images without additional dose Retrospective reconstruction of slices in arbitrary position within the scanned volume No gaps since radiation always transmits the whole volume Spiral CT / Volume Imaging Computed Tomography CT Basics Principle of Spiral CT Scan Parameter Image Quality Optimizing Injection Protocols Clinical Applications Scan Parameters X-ray Tube Voltage (kVp) X-ray Tube Current (mA) Scan Time (s) Slice thickness or Collimation (mm) Table Speed (mm/rot) or Feed per 360 rotation Pitch Interpolation Process Increment (mm) Table Speed Pitch Table Speed is defined as distance traveled in mm per 360o rotation Pitch = Table Feed per rotation Collimation 10mm P1 10mm P2 30s 30s More Coverage in the same time with extended Pitch!! Pitch 2 covers 2x distance as Pitch 1 Scan Range = 300mm 10mm P1 10 mm/s 10mm P2 20 mm/s 30s 15s Cover the same volume in shorter time with extended Pitch To reduce artifacts due to table motion during spiral scanning, we use a special reconstruction process called INTERPOLATION Interpolation Converts volume data into slice images Interpolation Algorithm ? Wide Algorithm ? Slim Algorithm 2 x 360° = 720° raw data 2 (180+52) = 464° raw data Wide algorithm produces a broader image thickness Wide algorithm
