Calibration and response of an EMI scanner

R A Rutherford et al. Neuroradiology. 1976.

Abstract

Computed tomography provides a measurement of the linear absorption coefficient of material in vivo. The precision and accuracy of the measurements of this parameter made by the EMI scanner have been investigated at all three recommended voltage settings of the machine. The relationship between the EMI number and the linear absorption coefficient was found to be linear despite the polychromatic nature of the X-ray beam. The spatial resolution of the machine and the response to materials at different depths within the section have also been investigated.
