Scan and Reconstruction

Increment

The increment is the distance between the recon- structed images in the Z direction. When the increment chosen is smaller than the slice thickness, the images are created with an overlap. This technique is useful to reduce partial volume effect, giving you better detail of the anatomy and high quality 2D and 3D post-process- ing.

Slice Thickness = 10 mm

 

Increment = 3 mm

Increment = 10 mm
