Fig. 6C. —Loss of information with thick-slab maximum-intensity-projection (MIP) images in 37-year-old man with sarcoma. Sequential 25-mm MIP slab images created with 20-mm reconstruction interval (20% overlap) do not depict lesion well because density from diaphragm and below diaphragm is projected onto final image and obscures nodule. This effect also occurs at apices and increases in severity with thicker MIP slabs.
