Data Characteristics
← Data Overview | ● | Example Data →
CT
- High resolution
- Good consistency
- Radiation exposure to live organisms
- Fast detectors available with good noise-to-signal ratio
- High mechanical precision of rotating gimble
- Metal produces artifacts
- Human tissue is reproduced poorly
- Main application is imaging of bone structures
- Scan trucks
MRI
- Good Reproduction of tissue structures
- Angiography with Gadolinum contrast agent
- Low spatial resolution
- Prone to noise
- No absolute scale
- Strong magnetic and electromagnetic field needs to be shielded
- Loud
- Main application is imaging of tissue and organ structures
- Other physical properties like temperature and ion flow can be detected
- Time series as side-effect
PET:
- Functional Imaging
- Radiative Contrast Agent
- Very poor resolution
