| Calculate the Linear dimension of a Pixel |
|
Definition
PIXEL = DFOV / MATRIX
Be sure to convert DFOV from cm to mm (multiply x 100) |
|
|
Term
| Calculate the volume of a voxel |
|
Definition
1.Calculate linear pixel dimension:
PIXEL = DFOV / MATRIX Be sure to convert DFOV from cm to mm (multiply x 100)
2.Calculate pixel area:
(Pixel linear dimension x Pixel linear dimension) converts to area (mm squared)
3. Calculate Voxel Volume by multiplying pixel area times section (slice) width. answer will be in mm cubed. |
