Table I:
TBR and wall thickness measured in NMC, MC and REF images for all phantom and human subject studies. These results were the mean values calculated based on the ROIs and profiles described in Fig. 1.
Study | TBR | Thickness (mm) | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
MC | REF | NMC | MC | REF | NMC | |
Phantom fast | 4.8 | 4.71 | 2.12 | 9.52 | 9.54 | N/A* |
Phantom slow | 2.53 | 4.57 | 1.76 | 10.86 | 9.42 | 14.32 |
Subject 1 | 3.66 | 3.78 | 1.71 | 15.1 | 15.28 | 18.14 |
Subject 2 | 3.1 | 3.19 | 2.15 | 13.98 | 13.46 | 15.74 |
Subject 3 | 5.28 | 5.47 | 4.95 | 19.7 | 18.82 | 23.72 |
Unable to be quantified due to the ghost artifacts caused by motion in the image (left-bottom in Fig.3).
