    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • The rapid growth of computed tomography (CT) literature necessitates standardized terminology.
    • Current practices for viewing CT scans of the torso lack universal agreement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To advocate for a universally acceptable expression for computed tomography attenuation values.
    • To address the controversy surrounding the viewing orientation of torso CT scans.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and analysis of current CT viewing conventions.
    • Comparative analysis of different torso CT viewing orientations.

    Main Results:

    • Identification of the need for standardized CT attenuation value expressions.
    • Demonstration of the benefits of a consistent, top-down viewing approach for torso CT scans.

    Conclusions:

    • Adoption of standardized CT attenuation values will enhance data interpretation.
    • A top-down viewing perspective for torso CT aligns with anatomical texts and current practices, improving clarity.
