What's the deal with MIPs?

In this video, I talk about what MIP images are and how they're useful for imaging the lungs.

Textbooks I like for chest radiology—
Med students and all residents: Felson’s Principles of Chest Roentgenology

Radiology residents: Thoracic Imaging: Pulmonary and Cardiovascular Radiology

Thoracic radiology fellows: Muller’s Imaging of the Chest: Expert Radiology Series

Hey, could you explain also minIP reconstructions? I would love to see it.

Beautifully set up, even better explained.

Thank you so much because of making this useful and intelligible video !

Hi... I'm a pulmonologist and I'm already a fan of you 😀

The fissures please to determine the middle lobe collapse

Crystal clear presentation. Some things I've heard before just started to make sense in my head. My question is whether you have any experience with using MIP images for lung stereotactic radiotherapy. For motion management, 4D-CT is basic, but the volume is greater than the volume we would irradiate in a blocked position, such as deep inspiration breath hold. Some say that there is the danger of omitting the tumor craniocaudally when you use DIBH, since you don't see it properly. I would like to know your perspective on that.

Hey Rishi... That's awesome. Can you comment on MiniP imaging also

Great video! I received an image of my lungs from a CT scan I just had and I’ve been wondering why my lungs look taken over by big, “branches”, not really seeing much air space at all. Looked like no other images I could find of lungs Ct scan.. was driving me a bit nuts lol .. only to see they are using MIP. Anyway, enjoyed your video! Thank you

Thanks, wish my doctor knows as much as you, they still couldn't figure out what's wrong with my lung, no medicine nor any care, been struggling for a very long time, just don't know what to do now....

May I ask what software you are using to view these studies on Windows? Great video by the way.

Thanks . What ideal thickness of MIP is ideal for nodules detection? Is the a preference between lung filter or standard filter for the applying of the mip ?

[BRIDEYSPOOS]

Does anyone find inverted lung windows of use with the MIP's? I have seen a radiologist that likes them for his images. Worth doing?
