Calibration for standard calibration phantoms

This algorithm takes samples of a standard calibration phantom and determines the equation of best fit. This is typically done for solid phantoms. The calibration equation is straight forward:

\[\rho = m * HU + b\]

Given sames of density and Hounsfield Units in the scan field of view, an equation of best fit is determined.

The output densities are in units of whatever calibration phantom was used. It is the users responsibility to know what those units are.

intercept

Return the calibration intercept

p_value

Return the coefficient of correlation p-value

r_value

Return the R value (coefficient of correlation) for the fit

slope

Return the calibration slope

std_err

Return the standard error around the line of best fit
