I just found your channel today only by searching the topic of CT Detector's (because i have my exam) and i am telling how u explains the concept of Radiology in very visual and eassy way there is no other channel on UA-cam that can do that. Thank you so much for making these Wonderfull videos i try to finish all your videos on CT Scan and X-ray in 3hr's only . Keep it up the work i know one day u will cross the 1 million subscribes.
awesome video! I have a quick question, if you wanted to make the step size even smaller (which i believe would make it more contrasted) couldn't you multiply by an even bigger number than 1000? And if so, why is it not the norm to do that when trying to increase the contrast? Thanks!
Thanks Joy. The HU is the unit of storage for the CT images and then the gray level is determined by the window width and level. (See our video on that too) The window width and level determine the range of gray scale values displayed and also the contrast. Changing the definition of HU would not actually increase the contrast if the window width and level were changed also.
good video thanks! But i wish the music was quieter... in comparison with your voice, it was rather distracting. The balance is a bit off. imo music is not even necessary
HULT usually means that the HU is used as the input to a lookup table to empirically estimate another quantity such as the water equivalent path length for radiation treatment planning.
It depends on how long it has been, here is a nice diagram that describes the evolution of CT number over time radiopaedia.org/cases/evolution-of-ct-density-of-intracranial-haemorrhage-diagram?lang=us
Hello dear brian ....can u please explain the effect of photon energy on attenuation values ... I learnt that the with increase in photon energy the attenuation values decrease ....yes ofcourse more energy means less attenuation and more x rays pass through the given tissue but then water is given zero at all photon energies right so if the attenuation values of other tissues are given relative to water why does the other values change ....looks simple but some where it is confusing me....kindly if u can explain....thank you ....God bless u 😊

Tarnish I really appreciate your time also to leave this heartfelt message. Thanks again and please share with your colleagues
@@HowRadiologyWorks Just Completed all questions because your videos 🤝.
Thank you again
Thanks for your great explanation!
Thank you too! For the comment 😀
Excellent video Brian!
Thanks mkoma
excellent man
Thanks for the comment
Thank you so much ❤️🫂
You’re welcome 😊
Very informative video but I wish there was no background music cuz it’s distracting
Thanks we have gone to no music for our new videos
That’s great
Thanks for the comment SBT 👍

Thanks for the advice in my more recent videos I have removed the background music, sorry the settings were too loud here
Hello, I have a Question: so we have a HU scale, but what exactly is the Hounsfield Lookup Table (HLUT) ? Is it the same? And how does the HLUT work?
HULT usually means that the HU is used as the input to a lookup table to empirically estimate another quantity such as the water equivalent path length for radiation treatment planning.
@@HowRadiologyWorks Thank you very much!
@@schokimausi123 your welcome
can I know HU of haemorrhage?
i will be grateful because i have an exam after two days
It depends on how long it has been, here is a nice diagram that describes the evolution of CT number over time radiopaedia.org/cases/evolution-of-ct-density-of-intracranial-haemorrhage-diagram?lang=us
okay sir , so can i say like its between 65-90 ? because i understood this from the graph and i don't know if its true or not

Maybe I should do another video about this one. That will be more clear than in text. Thanks Ranjit
Yes please ...really grateful to u 🥰
I've added a new video to the channel based on your question, see ua-cam.com/video/NoJ3bR-K4_o/v-deo.html
@@HowRadiologyWorks ❤️❤️❤️ thanks a lot dear brian
@@ranjit12345ful you are welcome, thanks for the question. I’m sure others will learn from it too
Why would we multiple with 1000
That way doctors can say 5 HU change instead of 0.5% different easier not to say fractions or decimals
