关于CT中pitch 的解释 (What is pitch?)

pitch 是在X射线管完全旋转一周，这期间病人所在躺座所移动的距离，以切片厚度毫米为单位）。 通过提高桌面速度来提高音高会降低剂量和扫描时间，但是降低图像分辨率

Pitch is the distance in millimetres that the table moves during one complete

rotation of the X-ray tube, divided by the slice thickness (millimetres). Increasing
the pitch by increasing the table speed reduces dose and scanning time, but at the

cost of decreased image resolution (Fig. 1.6a, b).
