Questions and Answers

What contributes to the subject soft-tissue contrast in CT imaging?

  • Differences in beam energy
  • Differences in physical density (correct)
  • Differences in noise levels
  • Differences in linear attenuation coefficient
  • Why can small differences in soft-tissue density be visualized on CT scans?

  • Due to the 2-dimensional nature of the image (correct)
  • Due to the use of contrast media
  • Due to high noise levels
  • Due to the use of high beam energy
  • What is responsible for amplifying differences in grey levels (grey scale) for various tissues in CT scans?

  • Inherent tissue properties
  • Beam kilovoltage
  • Windowing (correct)
  • Tube current
