In the 1980s, a slice thickness of 10 mm was common, and a typical study generated a total of 25 to 30 slices. Today, we routinely use a 0.75-mm slice thickness, reconstruct at 0.5 mm, and produce a data set that ranges in size from 400 slices for a standard application, such as single-phase liver imaging, to 3,000 slices for a cardiac scan.Thursday, 29 Jul 2004 10:42:53 GMT
