Fig. 1. —Scheme shows postprocessing of raw data acquired with standardized 4-MDCT trauma protocol. Reconstruction and postprocessing of data acquired with standardized 4-MDCT trauma protocol included three steps: First, volume data set acquired with collimation of 4 x 2.5 mm (middle) is reconstructed with a slice width of 3 mm and reconstruction interval of 2 mm with medium smooth kernel (B30). Second, multiplanar reformations (left) are reconstructed from whole data set and magnified on workstation screen. Finally, axial images targeted to spine (right) just covering entire vertebral column are secondarily reconstructed with slice width of 3 mm and reconstruction interval of 1.5 mm with bone edge-enhancement kernel (B50). Image analysis was based on interpretation of axial source images, images targeted to spine, and multiplanar reformations.
