|
Distance |
A one dimensional, or linear, numeric measurement. |

|
Attenuation Coefficient |
A quantitative numerical statement of the relative attenuation of the X-Ray beam at a specified point. Coefficient that describes the fraction of a beam of X-Rays or gamma rays that is absorbed or scattered per unit thickness of the absorber. This value basically accounts for the number of atoms in a cubic cm volume of material and the probability of a photon being scattered or absorbed from the nucleus or an electron of one of these atoms. Usually expressed in Hounsfield units [referred to as CT Number in Fraser and Pare]. |

Water Equivalent Diameter Representative Value |
The Water Equivalent Diameter is a value at a single location sufficiently representative of the body region. |
113983
|
Water Equivalent Diameter From Raw Data |
The Water Equivalent Diameter value is derived from Raw Data rather than reconstructed slices.See . |

Homogeneity Factor |
A value used to describe the uniformity or composition of data or a material that relates to the same degree of variability. |
