Fig. 2 —85-year-old woman. Influence of acquisition (A) and reconstruction (R) slice thicknesses on fine anatomic detail in MDCT and MRI depictions of small bone ganglion in lunate bone. Sclerotic margin is best shown with smallest acquisition and reconstruction slice thicknesses of 0.5 mm (top left). Some anatomic detail of ganglion is obscured at acquisition slice thickness of 1.0 mm. For these scans, a pitch of 2.0 was used. Step artifacts along table feed are pronounced and decrease with increasing reconstruction slice thickness. Superb MR image contrast depicts anatomy at high level of quality even at slice thickness of 3.0 mm. CISS = constructive interference in steady state, SE = spin echo.
