STS-MIP - A NEW RECONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUE FOR CT OF THE CHEST JOURNAL OF COMPUTER ASSISTED TOMOGRAPHY Napel, S., Rubin, G. D., Jeffrey, R. B. 1993; 17 (5): 832-838

Abstract

The authors present sliding thin-slab maximum intensity projection (STS-MIP) as a technique for improved visualization of blood vessels and airways from rapidly acquired thin-section CT data. The STS-MIP reconstructions can be computed rapidly and without operator intervention directly from the transaxial sections. The resulting images retain the high contrast resolution of thin-section (1-3 mm) CT while providing vascular or airway visibility within a sequence of overlapping thin-slabs (3-10 mm). Examples are presented of pulmonary vessels and airways derived from spiral CT and of pulmonary vessels and coronary arteries derived from electron-beam CT.
