Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP)


MIP is a three dimensional processing method used in CT and MRI. Blood vessels in CT angiography data sets are best viewed as MIP images. This method of reformation takes the brightest pixels in the image volume and projects them into the final MIP. Since blood usually has a higher pixel intensity than other structures in the background, the blood vessels are displayed brighter than the background.
