Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the image quality and diagnostic value of multiplanar reformat (MPR) of abdominal CT performed with multidetector row spiral technique (MDCT). Forty-five patients were referred for an abdominal MDCT angiography. No significant differences in image quality and in the number of lesions detected were found between axial and MPR images (t-test, P>.90 and chi-square, P>.95). Additional diagnostic value to axial images could be obtained with MPR display.
