This brief review focuses on use of an advanced postprocessing volume-rendering technique for cardiac computed tomographic angiography (CTA) called blood pool inversion (BPI). In particular, we focus on the application of BPI in visualization of the aortic valve. Practical tips and tricks about aortic valve imaging with cardiac CTA are given. Topics include optimization of patient preparation and image acquisition; strengths and limitations of standard postprocessing techniques such as multiplanar reconstruction, maximal intensity projection, and minimum intensity projection; and use of advanced volume rendering with BPI for assessment of aortic valve disease.
本简要综述聚焦于一种用于心脏计算机断层血管造影（CTA）的先进后处理容积再现技术，即血池反转（BPI）的应用。特别是，我们着重探讨BPI在主动脉瓣可视化中的应用。文中给出了关于心脏CTA主动脉瓣成像的实用技巧。主题包括患者准备和图像采集的优化；多平面重建、最大密度投影和最小密度投影等标准后处理技术的优缺点；以及使用带有BPI的先进容积再现技术评估主动脉瓣疾病。
