Abstract:
We evaluated the clinical utility of 3D-CT cystography using the perspective volume rendering technique in 5 patients with disorders of the urinary bladder and prostate. Unlike the conventional orthostatic volume-rendering technique, the capability of optional visual point settlement in the urinary bladder precluded cutting a subset of acquired data for luminal inspection, and permitted observation closer to lesions. Consequently, the technique enabled the evaluation of the accurate size, shape, and relation to adjoining mucosa and the region shaded by bulky tumor. 3D-CT cystography using the perspective volume-rendering technique facilitated 3-D inspection of the bladder lumen.

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...
