MIP and MinIP in Practice: Diffuse Nodules, Mosaic Attenuation, and Other Examples
Maximum intensity projection (MIP) and minimum intensity projection (MinIP) are post-processing techniques that can significantly contribute to radiological diagnostics. Multiple contiguous thin slices are combined, and from this volume, the voxels with the highest (MIP) or lowest attenuation (MinIP...

| description | Maximum intensity projection (MIP) and minimum intensity projection (MinIP) are post-processing techniques that can significantly contribute to radiological diagnostics. Multiple contiguous thin slices are combined, and from this volume, the voxels with the highest (MIP) or lowest attenuation (MinIP) are projected [1]. In pulmonary computed tomography (CT) scans, MIP images are valuable due to the natural contrast between normal lung and high attenuation pathology. MinIP can be used to better visualize low attenuation pathologies such as bronchiectasis, emphysema, cysts, and ground-glass opacities. The patterns of diffuse lung pathology or the relationship of pathology to the secondary pulmonary lobule (SPL) can sometimes be better depicted using MIP and MinIP. |
