Scale of Contrast
Mike@radprof.com 209-617-4468 The Tuffest Stuff CT Registry Review
Long Scale, Wide Window Short Scale, Narrow Window
THE WIDER THE WINDOW, THE LONGER THE SCALE, THE GRAYER THE IMAGE;WIDE WINDOWS RANGE FROM 500 – 2000;
WIDE WINDOWS ARE GOOD FOR BONY DETAIL
THE NARROWER THE WINDOW, THE SHORTER THE SCALE, THE MORE BLACK & WHITE THE IMAGE;
NARROW WINDOWS RANGE FROM 0 - 499;NARROW WINDOWS ARE GOOD FOR SOFT TISSUE DETAIL

Short vs. Long Scale“The wider the window, the longer the scale”

BEAM GEOMETRIES
•Cone Beam• Fan beam + expanded Z axis as it
exits from the patient and covers the length & width of the detectors
• MDCT SYSTEMS: 3rd & 4th
generation CT Systems
•Area Beam• Like that used in diagnostic to
obtain a KUB
• Includes X, Y & Z axes in CT
Mike@radprof.com 209-617-4468 The Tuffest Stuff CT Registry Review
•Pencil Beam• Like that of a laser pointer
• 1st generation CT Systems only
•Fan Beam• The inverted V of beam
that covers the patient as in the SFOV
• 2nd, 3rd & 4th generation CT System

THE DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM
• PRIMARY COMPONENTS
• THE CT DETECTOR SYSTEM• Convert EM energy to Electrical
energy
• Xenon gas
• Scintillation photodiode
• THE ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER (ADC)• Convert electrical impulses to
Binary Data

THE 6 STEPS OF RECONSTRUCTION
• FROM THE CT DETECTORS TO THE ADC TO THE CT COMPUTER…
1. PREPROCESSING
• Filter SCAN DATA = MEASUREMENT DATA and correct for data set errors due to beam hardening, bad detector reading, scatter radiation
2. REFORMATTED RAW DATA
• This is scan data that has been corrected by preprocessing
3. CONVOLUTION WITH FILTER
4. IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION ALGORITHM
• Back projection of convolved data
5. RECONSTRUCTED IMAGES OF CT NUMBERS
6. IMAGE STORAGE, DISPLAY, RECORDING, ARCHIVING

Cardiac Gating
Prospective
• A signal from the R-wave triggers scanning at a set point in the R-R interval
• In this way only a portion of the cardiac cycle is used
• Low dose procedure comparatively
• Used for calcium scoring
Retrospective
• Continuous acquisition throughout the cardiac cycle with simultaneous recording of the ECG.
• Data can be reconstructed at any point in the R-R interval.
• Cine loops can be generated
• Higher radiation dose

CT specific patient dose measures• DLP takes into account the entire scanned volume and
tissue irradiated
• Can multiply by weighting factor to get effective dose

CT Specific MeasuresEstimating Effective Dose in mSvApplying k values for Adults
• Effective dose = DLP x k (where k is the weighting factor)• Representative adult weighting factors for k are:
»Head/Neck .0031»Head .0021»Neck .0059» Chest .014»Abdomen .015
–IF, DLP = 251 mGy-cm for a CHEST CT–THEN, Effective dose = DLP or 251 mGy-cm x 0.014 (k) = 3.5 mSv
