Rationale And Objectives:
In cardiovascular computed tomography (CT), thin collimation results in a large number of images per examination. Moreover, interpretation relies on multiplanar reformatted images.
Materials And Methods:
Although many strategies for approaching cardiac reformations have been described, as CT use increases, so does the importance of simple and reproducible postprocessing algorithms. The clinical importance of reformations has recently extended beyond the left ventricle to include the right ventricular in patients with pulmonary embolism.
Results:
This work illustrates an algorithm to reformat two of the most important views in cardiovascular CT: the four-chamber and short axis views.
Conclusions:
The illustration is performed in the context of two cardiovascular examinations: cardiac CT and CT pulmonary angiography.
