How Analyze was Used
“In case of the anatomical phantom the obtained HU values were compared with those of the original human CT data. Analyze 12.0 toolkit (AnalyzeDirect, Overland Park, United States) was used in order to measure the HU value from the test phantoms and anatomical phantom CT scans. Different line profiles inside some regions of interests within the phantom images were selected and the HU values were computed by calculating the average and the standard deviation over all points for the selections related to those line profiles. In addition, for each test phantom. Signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) was also calculated by dividing the achieved average of HU values to the standard deviation of HU values, the absolute values were reported.”
