Abstract
The quality of multiplanar reformations and three-dimensional renderings is primarily influenced by the quality of the computed tomography (CT) data. A thorough understanding of spiral CT principles is required for optimal creation of multiplanar and three-dimensional renderings. No amount of sophisticated rendering and image segmentation can resurrect a poor acquisition.
