title: Computer reconstructed sagittal and coronal CT scans. Applications in neurological disorders of infants and children.
abstract: Recent technical advances in computed tomography (CT) allow sagittal and coronal image reconstruction by computer manipulation of data from thin-section transverse scans. Three cases are presented to illustrate this new supplementary modality in the pediatric patient. The technique, diagnostic implications and value of orthogonal plane image reconstruction are discussed.
