Abdominal aortic aneurysms: findings on three-dimensional display of helical CT data

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 1995 Apr;164(4):917-22. doi: 10.2214/ajr.164.4.7726048.

Abstract

Excellent vascular opacification, reduction in misregistration artifacts, and the option of reconstructing overlapping scans from which three-dimensional (3D) models of the abdominal vessels may be rendered are among the benefits of helical CT [1-4]. The purpose of this essay is to illustrate the findings of 3D rendering of helical CT data in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms.
