1. What is CT reconstruction in MeshInspector and how does it work?

MeshInspector is a software tool equipped with a CT reconstruction algorithm designed to create 3D images from CT scan data. When a CT scan is performed, multiple X-ray images are taken from various angles around the object. MeshInspector's algorithm stitches these images together, similar to assembling a puzzle, to produce a detailed 3D representation of the scanned object.

2. What file formats does MeshInspector support?

MeshInspector accepts CT scan datasets in TIFF format for reconstruction.

3. What steps are involved in using CT reconstruction algorithm?

  • Begin by selecting the folder containing the CT scan images.

  • Choose a Lookup Table (LuT) file.

  • Input CT Scanner Settings. Inputs of the specific settings of the CT scanner being used. It's important to note that these settings may vary depending on the scanner model. Users can obtain the necessary settings by contacting the CT scanner manufacturer directly.

4. How important is speed in CT reconstruction?

Speed is crucial in CT reconstruction, particularly in emergency situations where quick decisions are necessary. MeshInspector's rapid performance ensures efficient workflow, enabling swift assessments in critical scenarios without compromising quality.

5. How does MeshInspector maintain quality during reconstruction?

While emphasizing speed, MeshInspector prioritizes quality. After applying CT algorithm, tools like the "Change Iso" tool can be utilized to ensure the output maintains the desired level of quality. By adjusting different settings, users can verify the success of the reconstruction process.

6. What additional features does MeshInspector offer?

Once the CT scan is reconstructed, users can utilize various tools within MeshInspector. For example, the "Volume Rendering" tool allows for closer examination of the object, providing detailed insights into its structure.
