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.
