CT General FC reconstruction filters Reconstruction function comparison table: Aquilion 16-slice system () vs. Aquilion 4-slice system () We have prepared simplified comparison tables of the reconstruction functions for the and the. Use these tables as reference data when changing exam Plans etc. Note that data concerning image noise and MTF characteristics for each reconstruction function for the will be provided separately. [Applicable system software] : V1.30 or later : V1.7 or later
<Abdominal functions with BHC processing (in the FC00 range)> FC04 FC04 FC05 FC05 FC01 FC01 FC02 FC02 FC03 FC03 Figure 1 vs. : Comparison table of the abdominal functions with BHC processing Figure 1 shows the relationships between the abdominal functions with BHC processing for the and those for the.
