Abstract:
PURPOSE:Our goal was to examine the effects of collimation width (CW), pitch, viewing plane, and windowing on the display of in-plane vessels in maximum intensity projection (MIP). METHOD:A theoretical concept based on partial volume averaging of vessels was developed to describe the contents of voxels (densities) in MIP and to derive cross-sectional vessel diameters and blurring. To validate the concept and to describe the influence of pitch, a Plexiglas cone submerged in water was scanned with varying CW and pitch. Binary MIP with three representative window levels was chosen so that definitive vessel diameters could be quantitated. RESULTS:The theoretical concept correctly predicted voxel contents and blurring for CW > or = 3 mm and low pitch. For high pitch, actual blurring was larger; however, for a given table speed, blurring of the cone decreased with pitch while increasing with CW. Overall blurring was most effectively reduced by using a thin CW and the transverse viewing plane. In the transverse viewing plane, the least blurring was found using binary MIP with a low window level. On the contrary, in the longitudinal viewing plane, blurring was minimized using a window level halfway between the density of the cone and that of the surrounding water. CONCLUSION:For CW > or = 3 mm, blurring of in-plane vessels can be explained with a simple geometrical concept based on partial volume. For accurate display, the transverse viewing plane should be used, a proper windowing must be chosen, and the CW should be kept below vessel size while raising the pitch to cover a reasonable volume.
