Objective:
During computed tomography interpretation, some anatomical regions are optimally displayed in planes other than axial. The purpose of this review was to define best interpretative practice, by demonstrating through literature review and case demonstration the computed tomography applications that should routinely include multiplanar viewing of the volume.
Conclusions:
Owing to multidetector-row computed tomography technology, multiplanar reconstructions not only have become realistic and reliable but also, in some clinical settings, have been shown to improve diagnostic accuracy and interpretation speed.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
