• Use raw data to review a target region if necessary.
• For image reconstruction of soft tissue use kernel
B31s and a slice width of 5.0 mm.
• Coronal and sagittal 2D planar reconstructions are
important for evaluation of the joint space & bursa
sacs in CT arthograms.
• 3D renderings are helpful for complex fractures &
dislocations.
