Factors affecting the use of quantitative information from a CT scanner
Abstract:
Computed tomography can be used quantitatively in a variety of ways in both diagnosis and therapy. However, the successful use of CT numbers depends on the appreciation of several features of CT scanning, including the diagnostic viewer. It is also possible to employ the quantitative output of a CT scanner to improve the accuracy of isodase curve computations for photon (or electron) beam radiotherapy. A quality-control program is mandatory for anyone wishing to use CT numbers for this purpose.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
