6. Enhancement Curve
As soon as you have defined an ROI, an enhancement
curve (time-density curve) is calculated and displayed
in the fourth segment. To facilitate identification, this
curve has the same color and numbering as the associ-
ated ROI. The maximum CT-value of the ROI first drawn
is indicated by a dashed sampling line.

In the table, for each ROI, the following parameters are
given:
• Peak [HU]: Highest CT value detected in the ROI.
• Time to Peak [s]: Period of time in seconds from the

• Peak [HU]: Highest CT value detected in the ROI.
• Time to Peak [s]: Period of time in seconds from the
time when the first image was acquired (Delay = 0)
or the time when the contrast was injected
(Delay > 0) to the time when the highest CT value is
reached in an ROI.
