Effectiveness Of Using Slice Thickness Of 1 mm and 5 mm To See Resolution Contrast In The Quality Of Ct Scan Images In Cases Of Hemorrhagic Stroke

Abstract

CT-Scan or computer tomography scans, are diagnostic aids that can be used to examine every organ in the body. A computer algorithm known as multiplanar reconstruction may produce axial, sagittal and coronal pictures from a stack of neighbouring transversal axial images. The operator modifies the slice thickness value based on clinical requirements. An incident that damages a portion of the brain is called a stroke. There are two types of stroke, ischemic stroke and haemorrhagic stroke. The purpose of this study is to determine which slice thickness in clinical haemorrhagic stroke can produce imaging data with good contrast resolution. The RSI Radiology Installation Siti Rahmah Padang served as the research site for this study. This kind of study is qualitative and descriptive. There were four respondents and one sample in this study, which included one patient, three radiographers, and a radiologist. In this investigation, we examined the variation in slice thickness, namely between 1mm and 5mm. since the study’s findings indicate that using a 5mm slice thickness improves the quality of images when showing haemorrhagic stroke images, a slice thickness of 5 mm produced an image that was ideal for diagnosis by physicians and had a good contrast resolution for printing. it can be said that using a 5mm slice thickness is the best way exhibit CT-Scan images.
