CTデータを用いた再投影画像 : その応用技法による新たな表示方法

抄録

Reprojection Method(RPM)using computed tomography(CT)data can create simulating images of plain X-ray film. We could create material extracted images by selecting projected CT values, and created tomographic images by selecting spatial values. Virtual X-ray source can be set anywhere. So it can create stereographic images composed of a pair of beam's eye view, and can create panoramic images to set the source inside the volume data. Since RPM does not need the binaryzation process, the densities of the image reflect the original CT value of each voxel. RPM using CT data is a useful method to get the most information regarding X-ray attenuation and to cope with the fast scan CT system.
