Presentation Transcript

  1. DICOM and CT/PET Fusion • CT and PET slices stored as separate original image files • one slice per file (old objects) or multiple slices per file (new enhanced objects) • Fused images are NOT stored in special form • Blending presentation state specifies what and how to fuse • selection of underlying (CT) and superimposed (PET) sets of images • windowing, relative opacity and pseudo-color palette • may include reference to rigid or non-rigid registration spatial transform • Why ? • allows receiving application user to adjust/correct re-sampling, registration, windowing, relative opacity, perform MPR & 3D • allows for computation of quantitative values from originals • avoids storage of duplicate of entire data set (in original and fused forms) • Can store fused result as “secondary capture image” • for display only (referring physician); can’t be adjusted & useless for quantitation
