Comments on HW 1• Problem 46-48 (the first set) were actually supposed to refer
to a different picture, so don’t think that it’s a representative problem• Can tell it’s T1 since CSF is dark• You can tell it’s spin echo since edges are well define and there aren’t
susceptibility artifacts near the tissue-air boundaries
• Remember to label left/right whenever it can be identified in the image
• Other problems should have the correct solution written on your hw if you made a mistake. We can review any problems you’re interested in now
• The homeworks and exams in this class will generally test whether you properly understand the concepts of the physics, rather than just solving equations

X-Ray Overview: Radiography, CT• X-ray medical imaging measures x-rays that pass through
the body to generate images• X-rays are electromagnetic energy in a band of energies
much higher than visible light• X-rays that pass through the body can do one of several
things• Pass through – These get detected properly• Get absorbed – These aren’t detected• Scattered – These can get detected improperly
• Photoelectric effect – occurs more in high Z (atomic number) materials• Compton scattering – dominant effect in soft tissue

X-ray absorption
![Page 11: BIOE 220/RAD 220 REVIEW SESSION January 30, 2011](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649ca25503460f949610a0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Image properties• Contrast is determined by the energy of the photons (keV)
and the tissue properties• SNR is determined by the number of photons that
transmit (SNR = sqrt(N) ), which is a function of the transmission properties and the number of photons transmitted (mAs)
• Scatter degrades SNR by adding detected events where there shouldn’t be any

Magnification in radiography• Objects closer to source get magnified relative to farther
objects

CT takes a series of radiographs to reconstruct 3 dimensional object

CT units are normalized to water attenuation (Hounsfield units)
Contrast is the difference in Hounsfield units: C = A - B

CT colormaps are windowed• The dynamic range in CT is too large to capture
everything with a single colormap• The center (“level”) and extent (“window”) are varied to be
able to see the type of tissue being imaged• Bone window has a high level and wide window• Soft tissue or brain window is close to 0 (water) and much smaller
in extent
