Hounsfield Unit Value

On multi-slice CT images, this tool measures the average Hounsfield unit value of a sphere with a defined diameter around the indicated point.

On cone beam (CB)CT data, the average gray value of a 2 mm diameter sphere will be measured. In the latter case, a warning will be shown before the first measurement.

To measure the HU or gray value of a point:

Click a point in the scene.

The gray value is added in the viewer and shown in the Visibility smart panel.

Note

In case of cone beam (CB)CT data, a warning will be shown when performing the first measurement during a session. For this type of scan, the gray value is measured instead of the HU value.
