Abstract/OtherAbstract:
As compared to single slice helical CT, multislice helical CT does not only improve the quality of the individual images (in terms of slice sensitivity profile and image artifacts) and the range of scan coverage, it also enforces the CT postprocessing possibilities. The advantage of post-processing thin collimation bowel CT images with overlap and cine-viewing or paging is reported. The case report illustrates that cine-viewing of overlapping thin collimation images obtained with multislice helical CT, allows an excellent evaluation of the bowel loops resulting in the diagnosis of a perforated sigmoid carcinoma and its complications.
