How Analyze was Used
“For each acquisition, a stack of 512 cross-sectional images stored in unsigned 16-bit file format was produced. The reconstructed datasets were imported and analyzed using Analyze software (Analyze 12.0). A 5 × 5 × 5 kernel size median filter was always applied to image stacks. A conversion scale was used to express grey levels as CT numbers (Hounsfield Units—HU), setting -1,000 HU as the density of air and 0 HU as the density of water Fig. 1(d).”
