Three-dimensional reconstruction of an iliac artery aneurysm in a man with obstructive uropathy.

Reconstruction of three-dimensional images is performed either by scanner-based systems or by independent computers. The advantages of a stand-alone system include compatibility with multiple imaging modalities, more advanced technology, and increased user interaction. This report illustrates the use of a stand-alone system for the less commonly utilized purpose of three-dimensional reconstruction of abdominal soft tissues. It further demonstrates the merit of three-dimensional imaging as an important diagnostic adjunct and as a valuable source of preoperative surgical information.

MRI of bowel obstruction using the HASTE sequence.

High quality MR images of the gastrointestinal tract are now obtainable using a T2-weighted fast SE MR sequence with half-Fourier acquisition of data (the HASTE sequence). This fast sequence can acquire a set of images in a single breath hold and is insensitive to peristalsis-related artifact. It can be used with other imaging modalities in defining bowel obstruction and is accurate in determining the presence of bowel dilation and level of obstruction and in differentiating obstructing tumor from other causes of obstruction.
