Reconstruction of Anatomy

8-27

Quantum IQ

Quantum IQ is an image processing option that may be performed

on an image volume when it is reconstructed. Quantum IQ smoothes

out the noise in the soft tissue areas.

Standard Deviation (SD)

values in soft tissue (red)

decrease with Quantum

IQ applied.

Bone (blue) remains

Quantum IQ applied

Soft tissue appears smooth

Quantum IQ not applied

Soft tissue contains more noise

the same.
