Hand movie: VRT

Shoulder: 3D mapping demonstrates a high opacity with excellent detail of the shoulder joint without evidence of fracture or dislocation.

Nonunion distal radius fracture: Non union of a distal radial fracture in 3D
Go
MPR shows non-union of a distal radial fracture
Go
3D VRT shows the orthopedic plate for repair in great detail

Mandibular fracture: Pre and post operative evaluation of an mandibular fracture
Go
Preoperative study shows the right mandibular fracture and its extent
Go
Volume rendering shows in detail the repair of a mandibular and orbital fracture using a range of opacities for a complete study

3D Hand Soft Tissue:CT study done to rule out an abscess. CT angiogram reconstruction from the dataset show the details possible with CT angiography
Go
Volume rendered image of a bandaged hand
Go
Volume rendering showing how changing opacity allows visualization of skin and then the vascular map
Go
Volume rendering showing CT angiography of hand. Note splint on palmar surface
Go
Better interactive detail of the vascular map of the hand is defined interactively

Wrist trauma: The patient is status post trauma to the wrist. There is visualization in multiplanar display and 3D volume rendering. The study does not demonstrate a fracture but does demonstrate widening of the lunate scaphiod space.

3D volume rendering

Calcaneus fracture: Image displays in coronal and sagittal mode demonstrate a comminuted calcaneal fracture. Multiple fragments are well defined on 3D mapping.

Sagittal

Cervical Spine Trauma: 3D mapping demonstrates degenerative change in the cervical spine but no evidence of acute fracture. Interactive volume rendering coupled with sagittal reconstructions also viewed in interactive format is ideal for looking at potential trauma. This is far easier than looking at thousands of CT slices.
