The purpose of this pictorial essay is to illustrate the role of MDCT in the diagnosis of disease processes affecting the inferior vena cava (IVC).
High-speed MDCT has the potential to replace traditional imaging techniques in the evaluation of pathologic processes involving the IVC. The ability to acquire near-isotropic data allows high-quality reconstructions in the sagittal and coronal planes and thus overcomes one of the major limitations of CT in evaluating the IVC.
本图文文章的目的是阐述多层螺旋CT（MDCT）在诊断影响下腔静脉（IVC）的疾病过程中的作用。
在评估涉及下腔静脉的病理过程时，高速MDCT有潜力取代传统成像技术。获取近似各向同性数据的能力允许在矢状面和冠状面进行高质量重建，从而克服了CT在评估下腔静脉时的一个主要局限性。
