4DCT

4DCT, or Four-Dimensional Computed Tomography, is an advanced imaging technology that extends traditional 3D CT by incorporating the dimension of time. This innovative technique captures a series of CT images over a period, allowing the visualization of anatomical structures in motion.

The video below demonstrates how to visualize a 4DCT using AMIGOPy. With the Compare Module (shown in another session), all phases can be viewed side by side. In the View Module, it's possible to animate the images. 

AMIGOPy loads and organizes images according to patient, study, modality, and series. For a 4DCT, multiple reconstructions are created from a single acquisition. Here, "reconstructions" refer to the software processing of the data, while "acquisition" refers to the actual data collection and scanning of a patient or phantom.  Once an acquisition is selected, the 4DCT settings (as shown in the video) allow users to define which reconstructions should be included in the animation.
