1 The relationship between image noise and spatial resolution of CT scanners Sue Edyvean, Nicholas Keat, Maria Lewis, Julia Barrett, Salem Sassi, David Platten ImPACT*, St George s Hospital, London *An MDA device evaluation group,
2 Image noise and spatial resolution Aims Describe the origins of the ImPACT Q factor Explore the proportionality relationships in particular; noise against resolution From the findings, look at some implications 2
3 The ImPACT Q factor Describes a relationship of image quality with respect to dose Q α 2 3 f σ z D f = spatial resolution σ = image noise z = slice width D = dose High Q factor good image quality with low dose high spatial resolution, low noise, narrow slice 3
4 The ImPACT Q factor Drawn from the proportional relationship σ 2 α z f 3 D f = spatial resolution expressed as a frequency (c/cm) σ = image noise z = slice width D = dose 4

22 Empirical view of noise versus resolution power factor for MTF 50 and MTF 10 is greater than 3; ~ between 4 and 5 2 σ α f z 4 5 D 22
23 Empirical view of noise versus resolution how does this affect the calculation of Q? minimise the influence of the power relationship specify resolution eg. body resolution values of MTF 50 = 3.4 c/cm, MTF 10 = 6 c/cm find algorithm giving resolution data closest to that value calculate Q Q α 2 3 f σ z D 23
24 All scanners, body scans, lower resolution algorithms 2.1 % noise for 40 mgy use a specific average MTF 50 and MTF 10 value LightSpeed Mx8000 Aquilion VolumeZoom Average of MTF 50 and MTF 10

26 All scanners, body scans, lower resolution algorithms % noise for 40 mgy LightSpeed Mx8000 Aquilion VolumeZoom Average of MTF 50 and MTF 10
27 Conclusion The ImPACT Q factor relies on an established relationship σ 2 α f 3 z using average resolution parameters from the MTF, the noise squared relationship to resolution is shown to be to a power greater than 3 2 σ by choosing algorithms close to a fixed spatial resolution the algorithm dependence is minimised α f z D 4 5 D 27
