Hallo all,
I work at the Dresden University of Technology with CT and MR data in
the field of RP. Normally i get the datas with a layer thickness of
two millimeters. More is not possible (by CT, says the radiologies)
especially in the field of head, but more than two mm is also not so
good because of the structure of boone of the head. Only in very
difficult drops we use a layer thickness of five mm. Than it is
difficult to get a good reconstruction in 3D datas of this patient. A
other question are "normal" boones for instance feed or hip. there
are (i think so) four or five mm layer thickness are enough.
The layer thickness of MR is not so a question. It is more the
question of the required scan time (and costs)!. The radiation is not
a strain for the body.
I hope it is a help fo you
J. Hoffmann
