Abstract

Multislice CT is a powerful modality for evaluation of themusculoskeletal system, particularly when coupled with real-time, volumerenderingtechniques. Volume-rendered Multislice CT images havebecome a valuable part of evaluation of musculoskeletal disease, and findthat their inclusion in routine musculoskeletal protocols changesmanagement in a significant number of cases. In trauma cases, subtlefractures particularly those oriented in the axial plane are better seen onvolume-rendered images. Complex injuries can be better demonstratedwith volume-rendered images, and complicated spatial information aboutthe relative positions of fracture fragments can be easily demonstrated tothe orthopedic surgeons (Buckingham et al., 2003).Evaluation of suspected infectious or neoplastic disease is also aidedby inclusion of 3D imaging as part of the musculoskeletal Multislice CTexamination. Disease extent can be thoroughly evaluated with 3D images,and therapeutic planning be it surgical or medical is aided by theanatomic information available from 3D images (Etlik et al., 2004).
