In cardiovascular computed tomography (CT), thin collimation results in a large number of images per examination. Moreover, interpretation relies on multiplanar reformatted images.
Although many strategies for approaching cardiac reformations have been described, as CT use increases, so does the importance of simple and reproducible postprocessing algorithms. The clinical importance of reformations has recently extended beyond the left ventricle to include the right ventricular in patients with pulmonary embolism.
This work illustrates an algorithm to reformat two of the most important views in cardiovascular CT: the four-chamber and short axis views.
The illustration is performed in the context of two cardiovascular examinations: cardiac CT and CT pulmonary angiography.
在心血管计算机断层扫描(CT)中,薄准直导致每次检查产生大量图像。此外,解读依赖于多平面重组图像。
尽管已经描述了许多处理心脏重组的策略,但随着CT使用的增加,简单且可重复的后处理算法的重要性也日益凸显。重组的临床重要性最近已从左心室扩展到包括肺栓塞患者的右心室。
这项工作展示了一种用于重组心血管CT中两个最重要视图的算法:四腔心视图和短轴视图。
该示例是在两项心血管检查的背景下进行的:心脏CT和CT肺动脉造影。
