What do Hounsfield units represent?

Hounsfield units (HU) are used in computed tomography (CT) to represent CT numbers in a standardised format of the resultant image. HU are derived from a linear transformation of the measured attenuation coefficients based on arbitrarily assigned densities of air and pure water.

What has the highest Hounsfield unit?

Application of Hounsfield unit in clinical practice

It is used extensively in diagnostic radiology, particularly for CT scans. The HU scale ranges from -1000 to +1000, with water having a Hounsfield unit of 0. Tissues with a high HU (such as bone) absorb more x-rays than tissues with a low HU (such as lung tissue).

How do you calculate Hounsfield units?

The linear attenuation coefficient for each material at the selected effective energy was converted to CT numbers Hounsfield units using the standard equation: HU = (µmaterial–µwater)/(µwater) × 1000.
