MAXIMUM INTENSITY PROJECTION

CT Abdominal Aortogram MIP projection, gray-scale inverted image
MIP is a post processing technique that reconstructs an image by selecting the highest value pixels along any arbitrary line through the data set and exhibiting only those pixels. It creates a 3-D image from multislice 2-D data sets; it's the simplest form of 3-D imaging. MIP images are widely used in CTA because they can be reconstructed very quickly. (Bushong, p.453-454)
