Dear colleque, I am writing a medical (research) paper in which i would have to calculate the dimension of one pixel in a coronal plane in a CT scan.
I think that when the slice thickness of the ct scan is 0,625 mm and
the pixel spacing is 0,4 mm, the dimension of one pixel in a coronal
plane is 0,625 mm x 0,4 mm (the slice thickess x the width of the
pixel that is given from the pixel spacing). Is it right? If yes, how will i support that the dimension of one pixel in coronal plane is the slice thickess x the width of the pixel, based on the literature? I am looking forward to hearing news from you
Pixel height will be equal to the distance between axial slices in a CT scan.
you'll need to know how the Slice thickness, slice spacing, and any subsequent processing of the data interact. In the old days where slice thickness = slice spacing & there was unlikely to be any post processing then yes it was simply the slice spacing. Can't be quite so certain now.
