Cinematic rendering (CR) is a method of generating photorealistic 3D images from volumetric computed tomography (CT) data. In this manuscript, we describe a CR preset we have termed black-blood cinematic rendering (BBCR) that allows for detailed endoluminal views of the heart.
Three recent chest CT scans were retrospectively selected as representative examples for BBCR visualization. All scans had been performed with our institution's clinical standard, post-contrast, cardiac-gated chest CT. The BBCR images were created from isotropic-voxel reconstructed volumetric data on a stand-alone workstation.
The BBCR technique was successfully utilized to demonstrate intraluminal cardiac findings in a patient with a normal left ventricle, a patient with a left ventricular mural thrombus, and a patient status-post transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
BBCR is a new method of utilizing volumetric chest CT data in order to provide detailed images of intraluminal anatomy and pathology of the heart. Further study of this promising method is warranted.
电影渲染(CR)是一种从体数据集断层扫描(CT)数据生成逼真的 3D 图像的方法。在本手稿中,我们描述了一种我们称之为黑血电影渲染(BBCR)的 CR 预设,它可以提供心脏内腔的详细视图。
回顾性选择了三例最近的胸部 CT 扫描作为 BBCR 可视化的代表性示例。所有扫描均使用我们机构的临床标准、对比后、心脏门控胸部 CT 进行。BBCR 图像是在独立工作站上从各向同性体素重建的容积数据创建的。
成功地利用 BBCR 技术在一名左心室正常的患者、一名左心室壁血栓形成的患者和一名经导管主动脉瓣置换术的患者中显示了内腔内心脏发现。
BBCR 是一种利用容积性胸部 CT 数据的新方法,可提供心脏内腔解剖结构和病理学的详细图像。需要进一步研究这种有前途的方法。
