Example

1.Select the reconstructed image from Channel 2, and display an eliptical ROI with a total pixel area of 1300 mm squared. Refer to Philips Gyroscan Intera Instructions Manual for ROI help.

3.Bring up the Statistics for ROI, right-mouse select over the ROI number (arbitrary number next to the ROI), left-mouse select on Statistics from the drop- down box, and select Statistics again from drop box.

4.Record the Signal Mean value.

5.Move ROI to background noise as shown below.
