With a breath-held acquisition, volumetric data sets are obtained that may be used to create high-quality multiplanar reformations. Curved planar reformations are two-dimensional displays that may be used to trace the course of an anatomic structure through the entire data set. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to highlight the unique display of diagnostic information by curved planar reformations of the pancreas, biliary tract, and peripancreatic vasculature in patients scanned with multidetector CT.

Li 1, Geoff D. Rubin 1 Current multidetector CT technology (Light- Speed QX/i; General Electric Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI) captures four helical scans of data during a single 0.8-sec gantry rotation. fter an initial digital scout radiograph of the abdomen has been obtained, a series of unenhanced scans is obtained using a 10- to 12- sec breath-held acquisition, 10-mm collimation, and a pitch of 6 (high-speed mode). The unenhanced scans are used to define the target volume that will be scanned during an IV injection of contrast material. The patient must be instructed to attempt to achieve a similar level of deep inspiration during all scan acquisitions to ensure that the target volume is not missed. For a patient referred primarily for pancreatic studies, the target volume is from the celiac axis to the transverse duodenum. For a patient referred for biliary scans, the target volume is from approximately 2 cm above the porta hepatis to the level of the transverse duodenum. Immediately before scanning, the patient is asked to ingest ml of water as a nonopaque intraluminal contrast agent. fter insertion of a 20-gauge catheter into an antecubital vein, 150 ml of iohexol 300 mg I/mL (Omnipaque; Nycomed, Princeton, NJ) iodinated contrast material is injected at a rate of 4 ml/sec with a power injector. Forty seconds after initiation of the injection, 1.25-mm nominal thickness sections are obtained during a 15- to 20-sec breath-hold through the target volume using a pitch of 6 (high-speed mode). This late arterial scan acquisition phase is referred to as the pancreatic phase [1]. fter this acquisition, the patient is asked to inhale and exhale deeply. nother Pictorial Essay breath-held acquisition is obtained during the portal venous phase (i.e., 70 sec after injection initiation) through the entire liver and upper abdomen using 5-mm nominal thickness sections and a pitch of 6 (high-speed mode). The images obtained during the pancreatic phase are reconstructed at 0.5-mm intervals using a 20-cm field of view. These data are then transferred to a workstation (dvantage Windows; General Electric Medical Systems). Curved planar reformations are obtained by interactively placing a cursor on a stack of axial, sagittal, coronal, or oblique sections along the course of a specific anatomic structure, typically a tubular lumen. The thickness of the curved plane is the voxel dimension perpendicular to the curved plane and depends on the orientation of the section on which it is drawn. The section thickness of the curved plane will never be larger than the effective section thickness or smaller than the transverse pixel dimensions. The plane thus prescribed results in a two-dimensional image that displays the entire course of the anatomic structure throughout the data set (Fig. 1). Two orthogonal curved planes are created through each structure a curved transverse and a curved sagittal or coronal Received June 8, 2000; accepted after revision ugust 7, Department of Radiology, Stanford University Medical Center, 300 Pasteur Dr., Rm.

The curved planar reformations are obtained in our three-dimensional CT laboratory by dedicated technologists who have been trained by a physician to delineate the biliary and pancreatic ductal anatomy. The total time for performing the curved planar reformation is less than 20 min. Curved planar reformations are obtained to display the course of the pancreatic duct, common bile duct, and peripancreatic vasculature, including the superior mesenteric artery and portal venous system (Figs. 2 and 3). Clinical pplications Local Staging of Pancreatic Carcinoma In a patient with known or suspected pancreatic carcinoma, the main value of curved planar reformations is to provide additional diagnostic information about the extent of local invasion. Scans obtained during the pancreatic phase using a 40-sec scan delay improve conspicuity between the normally enhancing pancreatic parenchyma and the typically lower attenuating pancreatic carcinoma [1]. Curved planar reformations of the pancreatic duct may aid in detecting partial obstruction of the pancreatic duct by hypodense (Figs. 1 and 4) or isodense (Fig. 5) pancreatic lesions. In addition, perivascular spread of tumor with encasement of the superior mesenteric artery, celiac axis, or portal venous system (Figs. 6 and 7) may also be clearly identified with curved planar reformations of the peripancreatic vasculature. Curved planar reformations may also aid in the diagnosis of intraductal pancreatic neoplasms by clarifying the position of low-density lesions relative to the main pancreatic duct (Figs. 8 and 9). Side-branch mucin-producing tumors of the pancreatic ductal system are more likely to be benign and are often caused by epithelial hyperplasia. Tumors involving the duct of Wirsung (main branch type), however, have a higher incidence of invasive adenocarcinoma, and patients with such tumors should always undergo resection. In our experience, curved planar reformations may be used to help differentiate between intraductal and extraductal tumors. Pancreatitis In a patient with hemorrhagic pseudocysts or in whom hemorrhagic pancreatitis is suspected on the basis of unenhanced CT scans, pancreatic phase images may facilitate the diagnosis of peripancreatic pseudoaneurysms (Fig. 10) requiring embolization. Other vascular complications of pancreatitis, such as portal venous Fig year-old man with pancreatic carcinoma. and, Curved planar reformations are obtained by placing cursors interactively along course of pancreatic duct.

Discussion To date, curved planar reformations have usually been obtained to evaluate vascular abnormalities in conjunction with CT angiography [2]. Our current application of this technique to the pancreatic and biliary ductal systems extends the potential diagnostic usefulness of these unique anatomic reformations. One clear advantage of multidetector CT over single-slice helical CT is its ability to scan large regions with very thin collimation. This technique generates numerous axial images, particularly when overlapping reconstructions are obtained. Curved planar reformations cannot be viewed as a substitute for careful review of all axial source images. However, it is time-consuming for referring clinicians to review large numbers of images in great detail. Thus, curved planar display offers a potential solution to this dilemma that takes advantage of the volumetric data sets obtained with multidetector CT and Fig year-old woman with pancreatic carcinoma. Curved planar reformation through main pancreatic duct shows dilated interrupted main pancreatic duct resulting from isodense mass (M) in head of pancreas.

For personal use only; all rights reserved delineates the entire course of an anatomic structure in a single two-dimensional display. We currently use this technique for staging pancreatic and biliary tract neoplasms and in selected patients with pancreatitis if we suspect vascular complications. Our referring clinicians and surgeons have expressed their enthusiasm for these types of images because of the quick anatomic overview of key structures and parenchymal organs that they provide. Fig year-old woman with side-branch intraductal mucin-producing tumor involving uncinate process. Curved planar reformation shows communication (arrow) between normal uncinate branch and distended portion of ductal system containing mucin-producing tumor (T). However, a variety of other three-dimensional and two-dimensional reformations may be of value in assessing the pancreas and biliary tract [3 5]. These other reformations include both maximum-intensity and minimum-intensity images, volume-rendering, and sagittal and coronal reformations. In any given patient, these other reformations may also provide important additional information. current limitation of the curved planar reformtions is that a trained individual is needed to trace the course of a structure or blood vessel through an entire volume of the data set. lthough the time required for the reformations is moderate (<20 min), trained personnel and a three-dimensional workstation are necessary. We found that trained CT technologists can quickly acquire the skills to obtain high-quality curved planar reformations and that a physician usually needs only a Fig year-old woman with mucinous cystic neoplasm of pancreas. Curved planar reformation of pancreatic duct shows no communication between cystic mass (M) and distal pancreatic duct (black arrow).

In summary, multidetector CT with thin collimation can be used to create high-quality curved planar reformations of the common bile duct, pancreatic duct, and peripancreatic vasculature. lthough further studies will be required to delineate the specific additional value of these displays, our own experience clearly is that these types of displays help portray unique anatomic information, highlighting critical anatomic and pathologic relationships. cknowledgments We thank Laura Logan and Marc Sofilos for their excellent work in processing our cases.
