Curved planar reformatted images may be necessary to assess small caliber vessels such as the IMV.
Postprocessing images were created with multi-planar reformation (MPR), volume rendering (VR) and curved planar reformation (CPR) techniques.
Maximum-intensity projection 2D curved planar reformatting CT angiography of the RCA (d) showing diffuse ectasia (arrow) affecting all segments, including the PD.
Maximum-intensity projection 2D curved planar reformatting CT angiography of the left coronary artery (e, f, g) revealing a giant coronary without intraluminal thrombus of the LM and proximal segments of the LAD, Cx and RI (arrows).
The yarns are modeled within a unit cell consisting of the repetitive fabric pattern as curved planar beams submitted to the reaction forces of the transverse yarns at discrete crossover points.
The planar and non-planar motions of shallow arches of arbitrary shape, or of thin initially curved planar structural members, are investigated with the objective of determining the influence of non-straightness on the planar and non-planar response of the system to a planar harmonic excitation.
Curved planar reconstruction of multi-slice CT data sets along the portal vein and the bile ducts reveals tumor involvement.
All data were transferred to the workstation (Vitrea2, Toshiba Medical System, Tokyo, Japan) for multi-planar reformations (MPR), maximum intensity projections (MIP), curved planar reformation (CPR), and volume rendering technique (VRT).
The thin-section images obtained with this technique are sent to the 3D laboratory for image processing and reformatting (curved planar, coronal and sagittal images) (Fig. 3)[ 11 15 ].
Curved planar reformations through the pancreatic duct or peripancreatic vessels can be useful for displaying the imaging findings to the surgeon[ 19].
