Figure 10

Coronal CT slices at the same slice location obtained from three separate HCT acquisitions of the female anthropomorphic phantom with large breast attachment. Left HCT acquisition with the stationary phantom shows the correct dimensions of the phantom structures. Middle and right illustrate HCT acquisitions initiated at different time points in the respiratory cycle produce different coronal slices. For example, lungs appear to be elongated at different amounts compared to the lungs of the stationary phantom. Breath-hold method avoids this inconsistency in the CT acquisitions. Note that, the display thresholding was altered in order to better reveal the artifacts.
