title: Multiplanar imaging of the hip: a systematic approach.
abstract: Computed tomography has become an invaluable adjunct for the evaluation of musculoskeletal pathology. Although the transaxial image presentation has distinct advantages over conventional radiography, the ability to reformat the acquired data into coronal, sagittal, or oblique planes contributes to a more thorough understanding of complex anatomy such as that of the hip joint. This article reviews our experience with a series of over 500 hip cases using the multiplanar reformatting and display [MPR/D] package developed for use on the Siemens Somatom DR-3 scanner.
