How Analyze was Used
“We used the Analyze 12.0 toolkit (AnalyzeDirect, Overland Park, United States) in order to measure the HU values from the CT scan related to inner-bone areas inside the ribs, vertebral body and dorsal vertebral column for both patient and phantom thorax scan. For each of the three inner areas, we selected different line profiles inside the corresponding region and measured the HU by calculating the average and the standard deviation over all points for the selections related to those line profiles.”
