Multiplanar Reformats (MPR) - Video Lesson

CT imaging allows for a lot of different kinds of post processing. One of the most common post processing tech techniques is called multiplanar reformation. Keep in mind that the reconstruction process only produces images in the axial plane. But there's often a need to view this image data in other planes and that's why multi planar reformation is important. Multi planar reformation basically takes the original stack of axial images and reslices them into different imaging planes. That's why it's called multi planar reformation. There's several important differences between reconstructed data and the reformation image data. To start with, the reconstruction process is applied to the raw data. And so the initial images that we get come directly from the raw data. Reformatted images do not come from
