Multiplanar reconstruction or reformatting is a post-processing technique to create new images from a stack of images in planes other than that of the original stack. The use of thin slices increases the spatial resolution in the scan axis direction, allowing a high spatial resolution in all planes. Isotropic resolution results in high quality multiplanar and 3D reconstructions which are of particular benefit in CT angiography and virtual colonoscopy studies. •
A plane or section not perpendicular to the xyz coordinate system, such as long and short axis views of the heart. See also Orientation, Mediolateral-Oblique View, Lateral View, Lateromedial, Breast Imaging, and Stack. Result Pages : |
