Computed tomography (CT), originally known as computerized axial tomography, has been around for such a long time that the idea of a neurosurgical center without a CT scanner is unthinkable. Yet, it has been just more than 30 years since Sir Godfrey Hounsfield's experiments in Atkinson Morley's Hospital, scanning bullock brains, were developed. Sir Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield CBE FRS (28 August 1919 - 12 August 2004) was an English electrical engineer who shared the 1979 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine with Allan MacLeod Cormack for his part in developing the diagnostic technique of X-ray computed tomography (CT).. His name is immortalised in the Hounsfield scale, a quantitative measure of radiodensity used in evaluating CT. Dr. Laki András válasza májbetegség témában Tisztelt Kérdező!

Purpose This paper lays the groundwork for linking Hounsfield unit measurements to the International System of Units (SI), ultimately enabling traceable measurements across X-ray CT (XCT) machines. We do this by characterizing a material basis that may be used in XCT reconstruction giving linear combinations of concentrations of chemical elements (in the SI units of mol/m3) which may be.
Computed Tomography (CT) is the gold standard for the pre-operative study of stones and influences the choice of surgical strategy [].Hounsfield Units (HU) indicate the hardness of renal calculi and identify high density stones to be excluded from shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) [].Several in vitro studies have demonstrated the utility of CT in predicting stone composition [3,4,5,6] 是测定人体某一局部组织或器官密度大小的一种计量单位，通常称亨氏单位（hounsfield unit ，HU）空气为-1000，致密骨为+1000。实际上CT 值是CT 图像中各组织与X 线衰减系数相当的对应值。无论是矩阵图像或矩阵数字都是CT 值的代表，而CT 值又是从人体组织、器官的μ值换算而来的 Water has an attenuation of 0 Hounsfield units (HU) while air is -1000 HU, bone is typically +400 HU or greater and metallic implants are usually +1000 HU. To convert from the normal units found in CT data (a typical data set ranges from 0 to 4000 or so) you have to apply a linear transformation of the data Computed tomography (CT) Hounsfield units (HU), a measure of radiodensity, has been implicated for the assessment of bone quality, having significant correlations with dual x-ray absorptiometry scores and with compressive strength.1, 2 Moreover, data exist regarding its usefulness for the evaluation of lumbar fusion2, 3 and associated adjacent.

The Hounsfield Units (HU) make up the grayscale in medical CT imaging. It is a scale from black to white of 4096 values (12 bit) and ranges from -1024 HU to 3071 HU (zero is also a value) (Computed tomography number) The CT number is a selectable scan factor based on the Hounsfield scale. Each elemental region of the CT image is expressed in terms of Hounsfield units (HU) corresponding to the x-ray attenuation (or tissue density). CT numbers are displayed as gray-scale pixels on the viewing monitor. White represents pixels with higher CT numbers (bone) Converting CT Data to Hounsfield Units. The formula is: hu = pixel_value * slope + intercept. Normally, these values are stored in the DICOM file itself. The tags are generally called the Rescale Slope and Rescale Intercept, and typically have values of 1 and -1024, respectively

Godfrey Hounsfield. Sir Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield CBE (* 28. August 1919 in Newark in Nottinghamshire; † 12. August 2004 in Kingston upon Thames) war britischer Elektrotechniker und Nobelpreisträger für Medizin. Er gilt als einer der Väter der Computertomographie Hounsfield did some pioneering work on computers, helping to build the first all-transistor computer, but the division wasn't profitable for EMI and the company sold its computer business in 1962. CT Hounsfield Numbers. To compare the visual difference of foam contrast agent and conventional contrast media (Ultravist 300; Schering AG, Berlin, Germany), we measured CT Hounsfield unit (HU) of pure and half diluted conventional contrast agent and foam contrast using a CT scanner (Inveon CT; Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany)
Background: We hypothesized that vertebral bone mineral density as measured in Hounsfield units (HU) by computed tomography (CT) can correlate with values obtained by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Our study aimed to report such a correlation along with the normative HU values within a large, heterogeneous population The CT scanner was a remarkable feat of science and engineering. For the first time, it allowed doctors to make accurate 3D scans of patients' soft tissue. This proved vital to modern neurosurgery and oncology. Hounsfield received a Nobel Prize, a knighthood; and even had a scientific unit named after him The CT number of a material at a given kVp is defined by its linear attenuation coefficient . μ and the attenuation coefficient of water at the same kVp: CT number = 1000 × (μ - μ. water)/μ. water (1) The unit for CT numbers is Hounsfield units (HU); from the definition, water is zero HU . and air is -1000 HU El método mas común de convertir valores u en numero CT, el rango de números CT va entre -1000 y 4000. En este método al aire se le asigna un valor de -1000 y al agua de 0. Un tejido con un u el doble que el agua tiene un numero CT de 1000. Se conocen como unidades Hounsfield (HU) ESCALA DE HOUNSFIELD Computed tomography (CT) is widely used to examine stones in the urinary system. In addition to the size and location of the stone and the overall health of the kidney, CT can also assess the density of the stone in Hounsfield units (HU). The HU, or Hounsfield density, measured by CT, is related to the density of the tissue or stone

The CT number or Hounsfield unit (H.U) is not an absolute number. It is a representation of the density of the particular tissue relative to the density of water, which is assigned, by convention, a CT number of 0. CT number and H.U. are synonymous Table 2.1 depicts common H.U. measurements Hounsfield Unit (HU) Hounsfield Units (HU) are a dimensionless unit universally used in computed tomography (CT) scanning to express CT numbers in a standardized and convenient form. Well, Hounsfield Units is related to the composition and nature of the tissue and thus, represent the density of various tissues

Thus, one would say, for example, that a particular tissue in an image has a CT number of 40 Hounsfield units. Some examples of CT number calculations are as follows: A voxel actually containing water would have a CT number of 0. Within the space of five years Hounsfield's idea would come to fruition, and few medical achievements would be received with such unreserved enthusiasm as would his invention of computed tomography (CT). Hounsfield joined EMI in 1951, where he initially worked on radar and guided weapons

CT har især betydning ved udredning af lidelser i centralnervesystemet, ved diagnose og kontrol af kræft- og.
The lower the Hounsfield Units (lipid-rich; i.e. fatty) are the more likely it is that the tumor is not a cancer, but rather the more common adrenocortical adenoma. A high-quality CT scan using contrast is the most important x-ray or scan History. It was established by Sir Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield, one of the principal engineers and developers of computed axial tomography (CAT, or CT scans).. CT machines were the first imaging devices for detailed visualization of the internal three-dimensional anatomy of living creatures, initially only as tomographic reconstructions of slice views or sections Hounsfield单位(HU)是计算机断层扫描(CT)中普遍使用的无量纲单位，用于标准、便捷的表达CT数值。Hounsfield单位是通过对测量得到的衰减系数进行线性变换得到的。这种转换是基于空气和的密度，其中纯水被定义为0 Hounsfield单元，空气被定义为-1000 Hounsfield单元 Non contrast Computed tomography of brain scanning is the primary line for exigency evaluation of acute stroke due to its common availability, speed, low cost and accuracy in detecting hemorrhage and cerebral infarct. CT has the ability to quantify the beam attenuation, hence the measurements are expressed in Hounsfield units (HU), which indicates the HU values of various stages of infarct.
